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 2489 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2489 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

2489 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2489 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 4200.9587343212 ft/s

The final result is:

2489 kt → 4200.9587343212 ft/s

We conclude that 2489 knots is equivalent to 4200.9587343212 feet per second:

2489 knots = 4200.9587343212 feet per second
