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 890 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 890 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

890 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 890 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1502.1507728188 ft/s

The final result is:

890 kt → 1502.1507728188 ft/s

We conclude that 890 knots is equivalent to 1502.1507728188 feet per second:

890 knots = 1502.1507728188 feet per second
