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 2850 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2850 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

2850 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2850 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 4810.2580927343 ft/s

The final result is:

2850 kt → 4810.2580927343 ft/s

We conclude that 2850 knots is equivalent to 4810.2580927343 feet per second:

2850 knots = 4810.2580927343 feet per second

Alternative conversion
