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 940 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 940 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

940 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 940 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1586.5412656738 ft/s

The final result is:

940 kt → 1586.5412656738 ft/s

We conclude that 940 knots is equivalent to 1586.5412656738 feet per second:

940 knots = 1586.5412656738 feet per second

Alternative conversion
