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 143 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 143 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

143 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 143 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 241.35680956526 ft/s

The final result is:

143 kt → 241.35680956526 ft/s

We conclude that 143 knots is equivalent to 241.35680956526 feet per second:

143 knots = 241.35680956526 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 0.0041432433657091 × 143 knots.

Another way is saying that 143 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0041432433657091 feet per second.

Approximate result

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

143 kt ≅ 241.357 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero four times one hundred forty-three knots.
