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 947 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 947 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

947 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 947 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 561.0821598277 kt

The final result is:

947 ft/s → 561.0821598277 kt

We conclude that 947 feet per second is equivalent to 561.0821598277 knots:

947 feet per second = 561.0821598277 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0017822701764517 × 947 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 947 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0017822701764517 knots.

Approximate result

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

947 ft/s ≅ 561.082 kt

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