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 562 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 562 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

562 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 562 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 948.54913969005 ft/s

The final result is:

562 kt → 948.54913969005 ft/s

We conclude that 562 knots is equivalent to 948.54913969005 feet per second:

562 knots = 948.54913969005 feet per second
