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 189 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 189 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

189 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 189 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 111.97943844502 kt

The final result is:

189 ft/s → 111.97943844502 kt

We conclude that 189 feet per second is equivalent to 111.97943844502 knots:

189 feet per second = 111.97943844502 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0089302108841256 × 189 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 189 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0089302108841256 knots.

Approximate result

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

189 ft/s ≅ 111.979 kt

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