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 48.5 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 48.5 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
48.5 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 48.5 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 81.858778069337 ft/s
The final result is:
48.5 kt → 81.858778069337 ft/s
We conclude that 48.5 knots is equivalent to 81.858778069337 feet per second:
48.5 knots = 81.858778069337 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 0.012216160851472 × 48.5 knots.
Another way is saying that 48.5 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.012216160851472 feet per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that forty-eight point five knots is approximately eighty-one point eight five nine feet per second:
48.5 kt ≅ 81.859 ft/s
An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero one two times forty-eight point five knots.
