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 146 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 146 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

146 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 146 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 86.502634989276 kt

The final result is:

146 ft/s → 86.502634989276 kt

We conclude that 146 feet per second is equivalent to 86.502634989276 knots:

146 feet per second = 86.502634989276 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.011560341486985 × 146 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 146 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.011560341486985 knots.

Approximate result

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

146 ft/s ≅ 86.503 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero one two times one hundred forty-six feet per second.
