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 589 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 589 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
589 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 589 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 994.12000583175 ft/s
The final result is:
589 kt → 994.12000583175 ft/s
We conclude that 589 knots is equivalent to 994.12000583175 feet per second:
