About Converting Foot per Hours to Kilometer per Seconds
Foot per Hours and Kilometer per Seconds both describe speed, and the conversion matters whenever a maritime or aviation speed (knots) needs to be compared against a road speed (mph). Both are distance divided by time units.
Formula
kilometer per seconds = foot per hours × 8.466667e-8
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 foot per hours equals 0.0000846666666667 base units, and 1 kilometer per seconds equals 1000 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct foot per hours-to-kilometer per seconds factor of 8.466667e-8.
Simple example
1 ft/h × 8.466667e-8 = 8.466667e-8 km/s
1 foot per hours = 8.466667e-8 kilometer per seconds.
Real-world example
10 ft/h × 8.466667e-8 = 8.466667e-7 km/s
10 foot per hours = 8.466667e-7 kilometer per seconds.
