How to convert feet per second to kilometres per hour?

To convert feet per second (ft/s) to kilometers per hour (km/h), you can use the following conversion factors:

1 foot = 0.3048 meters 1 kilometer = 1000 meters 1 hour = 3600 seconds

First, convert feet to meters:

1 ft/s * 0.3048 meters/foot = 0.3048 meters per second (m/s)

Then, convert meters per second to kilometers per hour:

0.3048 m/s * (3600 seconds/hour) / (1000 meters/kilometer) = 1.09728 km/h

So, 1 foot per second is approximately 1.09728 kilometers per hour.

Real-World Examples for Other Quantities of Feet per Second

Let's apply the same conversion steps to other quantities:

10 Feet per Second

  1. Convert feet to meters: 10 ft/s * 0.3048 meters/foot = 3.048 meters per second

  2. Convert meters per second to kilometers per hour: 3.048 m/s * (3600 seconds/hour) / (1000 meters/kilometer) = 10.9728 km/h

So, 10 feet per second is approximately 10.9728 km/h.

50 Feet per Second

  1. Convert feet to meters: 50 ft/s * 0.3048 meters/foot = 15.24 meters per second

  2. Convert meters per second to kilometers per hour: 15.24 m/s * (3600 seconds/hour) / (1000 meters/kilometer) = 54.864 km/h

So, 50 feet per second is approximately 54.864 km/h.

100 Feet per Second

  1. Convert feet to meters: 100 ft/s * 0.3048 meters/foot = 30.48 meters per second

  2. Convert meters per second to kilometers per hour: 30.48 m/s * (3600 seconds/hour) / (1000 meters/kilometer) = 109.728 km/h

So, 100 feet per second is approximately 109.728 km/h.

Practical Real-World Examples

  • Walking Speed: A typical walking speed is about 4 feet per second. Converting this: 4 ft/s * 0.3048 meters/foot = 1.2192 m/s 1.2192 m/s * 3.6 = 4.388 km/h So, walking at 4 feet per second is about 4.388 km/h.

  • Car Speed: Let's say a car is moving at 88 feet per second (approximately 60 mph). 88 ft/s * 0.3048 meters/foot = 26.8224 m/s 26.8224 m/s * 3.6 = 96.96064 km/h So, a car moving at 88 feet per second is about 96.96 km/h.

By converting feet per second to kilometers per hour, you get a better sense of speed in a metric context, useful for understanding speeds in many countries around the world.
