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 148 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 148 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

148 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 148 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 249.79585885076 ft/s

The final result is:

148 kt → 249.79585885076 ft/s

We conclude that 148 knots is equivalent to 249.79585885076 feet per second:

148 knots = 249.79585885076 feet per second

Alternative conversion
