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 2855 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2855 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

2855 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2855 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 4818.6971420197 ft/s

The final result is:

2855 kt → 4818.6971420197 ft/s

We conclude that 2855 knots is equivalent to 4818.6971420197 feet per second:
