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 1140 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1140 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

1140 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1140 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1924.1032370937 ft/s

The final result is:

1140 kt → 1924.1032370937 ft/s

We conclude that 1140 knots is equivalent to 1924.1032370937 feet per second:

1140 knots = 1924.1032370937 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 0.00051972263271615 × 1140 knots.

Another way is saying that 1140 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00051972263271615 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 one hundred forty knots is approximately one thousand nine hundred twenty-four point one zero three feet per second:

1140 kt ≅ 1924.103 ft/s

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