Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 1009 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1009 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

1009 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 1009 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 597.81615550808 kt

The final result is:

1009 ft/s → 597.81615550808 kt

We conclude that 1009 feet per second is equivalent to 597.81615550808 knots:

1009 feet per second = 597.81615550808 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0016727550615458 × 1009 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1009 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0016727550615458 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand nine feet per second is approximately five hundred ninety-seven point eight one six knots:

1009 ft/s ≅ 597.816 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero two times one thousand nine feet per second.
