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 1420 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1420 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

1420 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 1420 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 841.3269978409 kt

The final result is:

1420 ft/s → 841.3269978409 kt

We conclude that 1420 feet per second is equivalent to 841.3269978409 knots:

1420 feet per second = 841.3269978409 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0011885984909153 × 1420 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1420 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0011885984909153 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand four hundred twenty feet per second is approximately eight hundred forty-one point three two seven knots:

1420 ft/s ≅ 841.327 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero one times one thousand four hundred twenty feet per second.
