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 1038.9 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1038.9 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

1038.9 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1038.9 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 615.53142116684 kt

The final result is:

1038.9 ft/s → 615.53142116684 kt

We conclude that 1038.9 feet per second is equivalent to 615.53142116684 knots:

1038.9 feet per second = 615.53142116684 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.001624612433439 × 1038.9 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1038.9 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.001624612433439 knots.

Approximate result

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

1038.9 ft/s ≅ 615.531 kt

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