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 2848 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 2848 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

2848 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 2848 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1687.3938660922 kt

The final result is:

2848 ft/s → 1687.3938660922 kt

We conclude that 2848 feet per second is equivalent to 1687.3938660922 knots:

2848 feet per second = 1687.3938660922 knots
