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 462 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 462 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

462 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 462 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 273.72751619894 kt

The final result is:

462 ft/s → 273.72751619894 kt

We conclude that 462 feet per second is equivalent to 273.72751619894 knots:

462 feet per second = 273.72751619894 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0036532680889605 × 462 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 462 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0036532680889605 knots.

Approximate result

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

462 ft/s ≅ 273.728 kt

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