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 780 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 780 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

780 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 780 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 462.1373650112 kt

The final result is:

780 ft/s → 462.1373650112 kt

We conclude that 780 feet per second is equivalent to 462.1373650112 knots:

780 feet per second = 462.1373650112 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0021638587911535 × 780 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 780 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0021638587911535 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that seven hundred eighty feet per second is approximately four hundred sixty-two point one three seven knots:

780 ft/s ≅ 462.137 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero two times seven hundred eighty feet per second.
