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 422 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 422 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

422 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 422 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 250.02816414708 kt

The final result is:

422 ft/s → 250.02816414708 kt

We conclude that 422 feet per second is equivalent to 250.02816414708 knots:

422 feet per second = 250.02816414708 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.003999549424407 × 422 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 422 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.003999549424407 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that four hundred twenty-two feet per second is approximately two hundred fifty point zero two eight knots:

422 ft/s ≅ 250.028 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero four times four hundred twenty-two feet per second.
