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 1989 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1989 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

1989 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1989 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 3357.0538057714 ft/s

The final result is:

1989 kt → 3357.0538057714 ft/s

We conclude that 1989 knots is equivalent to 3357.0538057714 feet per second:

1989 knots = 3357.0538057714 feet per second
