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 79.7 kilometers per hour into feet per second we have to multiply 79.7 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

79.7 km/h → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 79.7 km/h × 0.91134441528215 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 72.634149897988 ft/s

The final result is:

79.7 km/h → 72.634149897988 ft/s

We conclude that 79.7 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 72.634149897988 feet per second:

79.7 kilometers per hour = 72.634149897988 feet per second
