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 1889 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1889 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

1889 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1889 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 3188.2728200614 ft/s

The final result is:

1889 kt → 3188.2728200614 ft/s

We conclude that 1889 knots is equivalent to 3188.2728200614 feet per second:

1889 knots = 3188.2728200614 feet per second
