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 1142 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1142 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

1142 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1142 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1927.4788568079 ft/s

The final result is:

1142 kt → 1927.4788568079 ft/s

We conclude that 1142 knots is equivalent to 1927.4788568079 feet per second:

1142 knots = 1927.4788568079 feet per second
