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 2850 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 2850 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

2850 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 2850 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1688.5788336948 kt

The final result is:

2850 ft/s → 1688.5788336948 kt

We conclude that 2850 feet per second is equivalent to 1688.5788336948 knots:

2850 feet per second = 1688.5788336948 knots

Alternative conversion
