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 1040 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1040 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

1040 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1040 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1755.3222513837 ft/s

The final result is:

1040 kt → 1755.3222513837 ft/s

We conclude that 1040 knots is equivalent to 1755.3222513837 feet per second:

1040 knots = 1755.3222513837 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 0.00056969596278501 × 1040 knots.

Another way is saying that 1040 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00056969596278501 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 forty knots is approximately one thousand seven hundred fifty-five point three two two feet per second:

1040 kt ≅ 1755.322 ft/s

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