Conversion formula

The conversion factor from kilometers per hour to feet per second is 0.91134441528215, which means that 1 kilometer per hour is equal to 0.91134441528215 feet per second:

1 km/h = 0.91134441528215 ft/s

To convert 638 kilometers per hour into feet per second we have to multiply 638 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from kilometers per hour to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 km/h → 0.91134441528215 ft/s

638 km/h → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 638 km/h × 0.91134441528215 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 581.43773695001 ft/s

The final result is:

638 km/h → 581.43773695001 ft/s

We conclude that 638 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 581.43773695001 feet per second:

638 kilometers per hour = 581.43773695001 feet per second
