Kilometre per hour [km/h] to Foot per second [ft/s] Converter
How to Convert Kilometre per hour to Foot per second
1 km/h = 0.9113446583066653 ft/s
1 ft/s = 1.0972797073920002 km/h
Example: convert 10 km/h to ft/s:
10 km/h = 10 x 0.9113446583066653 = 9.113446583066654 ft/s
Kilometre per hour
Definition: Kilometre per hour (km/h) is a unit of speed, expressing the number of kilometres travelled in one hour. It is commonly used for measuring the speed of vehicles, especially in countries that use the metric system.
History/origin: Kilometre per hour is derived from the metric system, based on the kilometre as a unit of distance and the hour as a unit of time. It became popular as countries adopted the metric system for standardization.
Current use: Km/h is widely used in road signage, vehicle speedometers, and weather reports in many countries. It is a practical unit for expressing speeds within a human-scale context, such as driving or cycling.
Foot per second
Definition: Foot per second (ft/s) is a unit of speed, expressing the number of feet travelled in one second. It is used in the imperial system of measurement and is common in engineering and physics calculations.
History/origin: Foot per second is based on the foot as a unit of length and the second as a unit of time. It is a part of the imperial system of measurement that predates the metric system.
Current use: Ft/s is used in fields such as fluid dynamics, ballistics, and sports analytics (e.g., golf ball speed). It's also used in some construction and engineering applications in countries that use the imperial system.
