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 78.2 kilometers per hour into feet per second we have to multiply 78.2 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

78.2 km/h → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 78.2 km/h × 0.91134441528215 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 71.267133275064 ft/s

The final result is:

78.2 km/h → 71.267133275064 ft/s

We conclude that 78.2 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 71.267133275064 feet per second:

78.2 kilometers per hour = 71.267133275064 feet per second
