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 160 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 160 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

160 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 160 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 94.797408207425 kt

The final result is:

160 ft/s → 94.797408207425 kt

We conclude that 160 feet per second is equivalent to 94.797408207425 knots:

160 feet per second = 94.797408207425 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.010548811606873 × 160 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 160 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.010548811606873 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one hundred sixty feet per second is approximately ninety-four point seven nine seven knots:

160 ft/s ≅ 94.797 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero one one times one hundred sixty feet per second.
