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 23 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 23 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

23 kt → V(ft/s)

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

V(ft/s) = 23 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V(ft/s) = 38.819626713294 ft/s

The final result is:

23 kt → 38.819626713294 ft/s

We conclude that 23 knots is equivalent to 38.819626713294 feet per second:

23 knots = 38.819626713294 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 0.025760165273757 × 23 knots.

Another way is saying that 23 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.025760165273757 feet per second.

Approximate result

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

23 kt ≅ 38.82 ft/s

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