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 938 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 938 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

938 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 938 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 555.74980561603 kt

The final result is:

938 ft/s → 555.74980561603 kt

We conclude that 938 feet per second is equivalent to 555.74980561603 knots:

938 feet per second = 555.74980561603 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0017993708497865 × 938 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 938 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0017993708497865 knots.

Approximate result

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

938 ft/s ≅ 555.75 kt

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