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 46 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 46 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
46 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 46 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 77.639253426588 ft/s
The final result is:
46 kt → 77.639253426588 ft/s
We conclude that 46 knots is equivalent to 77.639253426588 feet per second:
46 knots = 77.639253426588 feet per second
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.012880082636878 × 46 knots.
Another way is saying that 46 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.012880082636878 feet per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that forty-six knots is approximately seventy-seven point six three nine feet per second:
46 kt ≅ 77.639 ft/s
An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero one three times forty-six knots.
