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 1120 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1120 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

1120 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1120 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1890.3470399517 ft/s

The final result is:

1120 kt → 1890.3470399517 ft/s

We conclude that 1120 knots is equivalent to 1890.3470399517 feet per second:

1120 knots = 1890.3470399517 feet per second

Alternative conversion
