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 948 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 948 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

948 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 948 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1600.0437445306 ft/s

The final result is:

948 kt → 1600.0437445306 ft/s

We conclude that 948 knots is equivalent to 1600.0437445306 feet per second:

948 knots = 1600.0437445306 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.00062498291275992 × 948 knots.

Another way is saying that 948 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00062498291275992 feet per second.

Approximate result

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

948 kt ≅ 1600.044 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times nine hundred forty-eight knots.
