Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

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

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

1009 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 1009 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1703.0001458136 ft/s

The final result is:

1009 kt → 1703.0001458136 ft/s

We conclude that 1009 knots is equivalent to 1703.0001458136 feet per second:

1009 knots = 1703.0001458136 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.00058719901020457 × 1009 knots.

Another way is saying that 1009 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00058719901020457 feet per second.

Approximate result

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

1009 kt ≅ 1703 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times one thousand nine knots.
