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 1485 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1485 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

1485 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1485 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2506.3976377931 ft/s

The final result is:

1485 kt → 2506.3976377931 ft/s

We conclude that 1485 knots is equivalent to 2506.3976377931 feet per second:

1485 knots = 2506.3976377931 feet per second

Alternative conversion
