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 490 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 490 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

490 ft/s → V(kt)

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

V(kt) = 490 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V(kt) = 290.31706263524 kt

The final result is:

490 ft/s → 290.31706263524 kt

We conclude that 490 feet per second is equivalent to 290.31706263524 knots:
