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 79.9 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 79.9 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
79.9 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 79.9 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 134.85600758227 ft/s
The final result is:
79.9 kt → 134.85600758227 ft/s
We conclude that 79.9 knots is equivalent to 134.85600758227 feet per second:
79.9 knots = 134.85600758227 feet per second
