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 6940 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 6940 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

6940 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 6940 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 11713.400408272 ft/s

The final result is:

6940 kt → 11713.400408272 ft/s

We conclude that 6940 knots is equivalent to 11713.400408272 feet per second:

6940 knots = 11713.400408272 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 8.5372305662307E-5 × 6940 knots.

Another way is saying that 6940 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 8.5372305662307E-5 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that six thousand nine hundred forty knots is approximately eleven thousand seven hundred thirteen point four feet per second:

6940 kt ≅ 11713.4 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero times six thousand nine hundred forty knots.
