What Is This Tool?

This unit converter helps you transform speed values between foot/second (ft/s) and kilometer/hour (km/h). It enables easy translation of measurements from US customary and Imperial systems to a metric system unit widely used internationally.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the speed value in foot/second (ft/s) you want to convert
  • Select foot/second as the input unit and kilometer/hour as the output unit
  • Click the convert button to get the equivalent speed in kilometer/hour (km/h)
  • View and use the converted speed for your specific application

Key Features

  • Converts speed values from foot/second (ft/s) to kilometer/hour (km/h)
  • Uses the precise conversion rate of 1 ft/s = 1.09728 km/h
  • Supports applications in ballistics, engineering, automotive, and meteorology
  • Browser-based and simple to use for quick calculations
  • Facilitates comparison of speed data across different measurement systems

Examples

  • Convert 5 ft/s: 5 × 1.09728 = 5.4864 km/h
  • Convert 10 ft/s: 10 × 1.09728 = 10.9728 km/h

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying projectile or muzzle velocities in ballistics and firearms
  • Measuring air or fluid velocities in engineering applications like HVAC systems
  • Reporting road speed limits and vehicle speedometer readings
  • Traffic planning and estimating travel times for journeys
  • Recording wind speeds in weather reports and speeds in fitness devices

Tips & Best Practices

  • Verify unit selection before conversion to ensure accurate results
  • Use this converter for consistent data comparison across metric and imperial systems
  • Be aware of rounding differences in cases requiring high precision
  • Understand that conversion assumes steady speeds without acceleration
  • Apply converted values carefully in scientific or engineering contexts

Limitations

  • The conversion assumes uniform speed without accounting for acceleration
  • Foot/second is less commonly used globally, requiring conversions for compatibility
  • Some rounding errors may occur in precise calculations when switching units

Frequently Asked Questions

What does foot/second measure?
Foot/second (ft/s) is a speed unit representing one foot traveled every second and is used mainly in US customary and Imperial systems.

Why convert foot/second to kilometer/hour?
Conversion helps translate speeds from US customary units to the metric system commonly used worldwide, aiding compatibility in automotive, meteorology, and engineering fields.

What is the exact conversion rate between ft/s and km/h?
One foot/second is equal to 1.09728 kilometers per hour.

Key Terminology

Foot/second (ft/s)
A speed unit from US customary and Imperial systems indicating one foot traveled per second.
Kilometer/hour (km/h)
A metric speed unit representing the number of kilometers traveled in one hour, commonly used worldwide.
Conversion Rate
The numerical factor used to translate a measurement from one unit to another, here 1 ft/s equals 1.09728 km/h.
