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 1089 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1089 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

1089 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1089 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1838.0249343816 ft/s

The final result is:

1089 kt → 1838.0249343816 ft/s

We conclude that 1089 knots is equivalent to 1838.0249343816 feet per second:

1089 knots = 1838.0249343816 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 0.00054406226014363 × 1089 knots.

Another way is saying that 1089 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00054406226014363 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 eighty-nine knots is approximately one thousand eight hundred thirty-eight point zero two five feet per second:

1089 kt ≅ 1838.025 ft/s

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