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 909.8 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 909.8 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

909.8 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 909.8 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 539.04176241947 kt

The final result is:

909.8 ft/s → 539.04176241947 kt

We conclude that 909.8 feet per second is equivalent to 539.04176241947 knots:

909.8 feet per second = 539.04176241947 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0018551438306218 × 909.8 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 909.8 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0018551438306218 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that nine hundred nine point eight feet per second is approximately five hundred thirty-nine point zero four two knots:

909.8 ft/s ≅ 539.042 kt

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