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 485 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 485 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
485 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 485 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 818.58778069337 ft/s
The final result is:
485 kt → 818.58778069337 ft/s
We conclude that 485 knots is equivalent to 818.58778069337 feet per second:
