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 146 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 146 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

146 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 146 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 246.42023913656 ft/s

The final result is:

146 kt → 246.42023913656 ft/s

We conclude that 146 knots is equivalent to 246.42023913656 feet per second:

146 knots = 246.42023913656 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 0.0040581082280576 × 146 knots.

Another way is saying that 146 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0040581082280576 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-six knots is approximately two hundred forty-six point four two feet per second:

146 kt ≅ 246.42 ft/s

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