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 3038 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3038 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

3038 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 3038 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1799.9657883385 kt

The final result is:

3038 ft/s → 1799.9657883385 kt

We conclude that 3038 feet per second is equivalent to 1799.9657883385 knots:

3038 feet per second = 1799.9657883385 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00055556611491104 × 3038 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 3038 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00055556611491104 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that three thousand thirty-eight feet per second is approximately one thousand seven hundred ninety-nine point nine six six knots:

3038 ft/s ≅ 1799.966 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero one times three thousand thirty-eight feet per second.
