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 972 kilometers per hour into feet per second we have to multiply 972 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

972 km/h → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 972 km/h × 0.91134441528215 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 885.82677165425 ft/s

The final result is:

972 km/h → 885.82677165425 ft/s

We conclude that 972 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 885.82677165425 feet per second:
