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 14.4 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 14.4 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
14.4 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 14.4 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 24.304461942236 ft/s
The final result is:
14.4 kt → 24.304461942236 ft/s
We conclude that 14.4 knots is equivalent to 24.304461942236 feet per second:
14.4 knots = 24.304461942236 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 0.041144708423362 × 14.4 knots.
Another way is saying that 14.4 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.041144708423362 feet per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that fourteen point four knots is approximately twenty-four point three zero four feet per second:
14.4 kt ≅ 24.304 ft/s
An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero four one times fourteen point four knots.
