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 889 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 889 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

889 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 889 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1500.4629629617 ft/s

The final result is:

889 kt → 1500.4629629617 ft/s

We conclude that 889 knots is equivalent to 1500.4629629617 feet per second:

889 knots = 1500.4629629617 feet per second
