Conversion formula
The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:
1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt
To convert 14.5 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 14.5 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt
14.5 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 14.5 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 8.5910151187979 kt
The final result is:
14.5 ft/s → 8.5910151187979 kt
We conclude that 14.5 feet per second is equivalent to 8.5910151187979 knots:
14.5 feet per second = 8.5910151187979 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.11640067979998 × 14.5 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 14.5 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.11640067979998 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that fourteen point five feet per second is approximately eight point five nine one knots:
14.5 ft/s ≅ 8.591 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point one one six times fourteen point five feet per second.
