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 3840 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3840 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

3840 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3840 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 6481.189851263 ft/s

The final result is:

3840 kt → 6481.189851263 ft/s

We conclude that 3840 knots is equivalent to 6481.189851263 feet per second:

3840 knots = 6481.189851263 feet per second

Alternative conversion
