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 22.9 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 22.9 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

22.9 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 22.9 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 38.650845727584 ft/s

The final result is:

22.9 kt → 38.650845727584 ft/s

We conclude that 22.9 knots is equivalent to 38.650845727584 feet per second:

22.9 knots = 38.650845727584 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 0.025872655078446 × 22.9 knots.

Another way is saying that 22.9 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.025872655078446 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that twenty-two point nine knots is approximately thirty-eight point six five one feet per second:

22.9 kt ≅ 38.651 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero two six times twenty-two point nine knots.
