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 1040 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1040 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

1040 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1040 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 616.18315334826 kt

The final result is:

1040 ft/s → 616.18315334826 kt

We conclude that 1040 feet per second is equivalent to 616.18315334826 knots:

1040 feet per second = 616.18315334826 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0016228940933651 × 1040 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1040 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0016228940933651 knots.

Approximate result

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

1040 ft/s ≅ 616.183 kt

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