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 145 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 145 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

145 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 145 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 244.73242927946 ft/s

The final result is:

145 kt → 244.73242927946 ft/s

We conclude that 145 knots is equivalent to 244.73242927946 feet per second:

145 knots = 244.73242927946 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 0.0040860951813545 × 145 knots.

Another way is saying that 145 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0040860951813545 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-five knots is approximately two hundred forty-four point seven three two feet per second:

145 kt ≅ 244.732 ft/s

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