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 2142 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 2142 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

2142 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 2142 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1269.1003023769 kt

The final result is:

2142 ft/s → 1269.1003023769 kt

We conclude that 2142 feet per second is equivalent to 1269.1003023769 knots:

2142 feet per second = 1269.1003023769 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00078795978389343 × 2142 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 2142 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00078795978389343 knots.

Approximate result

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

2142 ft/s ≅ 1269.1 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero one times two thousand one hundred forty-two feet per second.
