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 2009 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2009 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

2009 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2009 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 3390.8100029134 ft/s

The final result is:

2009 kt → 3390.8100029134 ft/s

We conclude that 2009 knots is equivalent to 3390.8100029134 feet per second:

2009 knots = 3390.8100029134 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 0.00029491478411967 × 2009 knots.

Another way is saying that 2009 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00029491478411967 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that two thousand nine knots is approximately three thousand three hundred ninety point eight one feet per second:

2009 kt ≅ 3390.81 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero times two thousand nine knots.
