knots to feet per second
Please provide values below to convert knots [kt] to feet per second [ft/s], or change ↔.
knots [kt]
Definition: A knot (kt) is a unit of speed used in aviation, maritime, and meteorological contexts, equal to one nautical mile per hour.
Historyandorigin: The unit originated with sailors, as it was based on the distance traveled over the earth's surface measured in nautical miles.
CurrentUse: It is used in aviation and maritime navigation to measure speed, and also in meteorology for wind speeds.
funfact: One knot is equal to 1.852 kilometers per hour or 1.15078 miles per hour!
feet per second [ft/s]
Definition: Feet per second (ft/s) is a unit of speed, representing the distance traveled in feet per unit of time in seconds.
Historyandorigin: This unit has been used historically in the imperial measurement system, particularly in the United States.
CurrentUse: It is often used in engineering, physics, and in contexts where smaller distances and shorter time intervals are relevant.
funfact: The speed of light is approximately 983,571,056 feet per second!

How to Convert knots to feet per second
1 knots [kt] = 1.6878103387 feet per second [ft/s]
1 feet per second [ft/s] = 0.5924836322 knots [kt]
we use cross multiplication method
knots [kt] → feet per second [ft/s]
1 → 1.6878103387
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*1.6878103387=1*x
by simplifying
x=2.531715508
