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 13 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 13 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

13 kt → V(ft/s)

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

V(ft/s) = 13 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V(ft/s) = 21.941528142297 ft/s

The final result is:

13 kt → 21.941528142297 ft/s

We conclude that 13 knots is equivalent to 21.941528142297 feet per second:

13 knots = 21.941528142297 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 0.045575677022801 × 13 knots.

Another way is saying that 13 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.045575677022801 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that thirteen knots is approximately twenty-one point nine four two feet per second:

13 kt ≅ 21.942 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero four six times thirteen knots.
