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 487 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 487 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
487 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 487 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 288.53961123135 kt
The final result is:
487 ft/s → 288.53961123135 kt
We conclude that 487 feet per second is equivalent to 288.53961123135 knots:
487 feet per second = 288.53961123135 knots
Alternative conversion
