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 189 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 189 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

189 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 189 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 318.99606299185 ft/s

The final result is:

189 kt → 318.99606299185 ft/s

We conclude that 189 knots is equivalent to 318.99606299185 feet per second:

189 knots = 318.99606299185 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.0031348349274942 × 189 knots.

Another way is saying that 189 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0031348349274942 feet per second.

Approximate result

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

189 kt ≅ 318.996 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero three times one hundred eighty-nine knots.
