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 78.5 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 78.5 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
78.5 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 78.5 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 46.509978401768 kt
The final result is:
78.5 ft/s → 46.509978401768 kt
We conclude that 78.5 feet per second is equivalent to 46.509978401768 knots:
78.5 feet per second = 46.509978401768 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.021500762510825 × 78.5 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 78.5 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.021500762510825 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that seventy-eight point five feet per second is approximately forty-six point five one knots:
78.5 ft/s ≅ 46.51 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero two two times seventy-eight point five feet per second.
