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 1096 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1096 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

1096 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1096 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 649.36224622086 kt

The final result is:

1096 ft/s → 649.36224622086 kt

We conclude that 1096 feet per second is equivalent to 649.36224622086 knots:

1096 feet per second = 649.36224622086 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0015399724973538 × 1096 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1096 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0015399724973538 knots.

Approximate result

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

1096 ft/s ≅ 649.362 kt

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