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 642 kilometers per hour into feet per second we have to multiply 642 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

642 km/h → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 642 km/h × 0.91134441528215 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 585.08311461114 ft/s

The final result is:

642 km/h → 585.08311461114 ft/s

We conclude that 642 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 585.08311461114 feet per second:

642 kilometers per hour = 585.08311461114 feet per second
