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 101 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 101 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

101 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 101 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 170.46879556707 ft/s

The final result is:

101 kt → 170.46879556707 ft/s

We conclude that 101 knots is equivalent to 170.46879556707 feet per second:

101 knots = 170.46879556707 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 0.0058661762504595 × 101 knots.

Another way is saying that 101 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0058661762504595 feet per second.

Approximate result

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

101 kt ≅ 170.469 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero six times one hundred one knots.
