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 789 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 789 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

789 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 789 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1331.6819772517 ft/s

The final result is:

789 kt → 1331.6819772517 ft/s

We conclude that 789 knots is equivalent to 1331.6819772517 feet per second:
