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 1630 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1630 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

1630 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1630 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 965.74859611315 kt

The final result is:

1630 ft/s → 965.74859611315 kt

We conclude that 1630 feet per second is equivalent to 965.74859611315 knots:

1630 feet per second = 965.74859611315 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0010354661699998 × 1630 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1630 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0010354661699998 knots.

Approximate result

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

1630 ft/s ≅ 965.749 kt

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