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 949 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 949 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

949 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 949 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 562.26712743029 kt

The final result is:

949 ft/s → 562.26712743029 kt

We conclude that 949 feet per second is equivalent to 562.26712743029 knots:

949 feet per second = 562.26712743029 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0017785140749207 × 949 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 949 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0017785140749207 knots.

Approximate result

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

949 ft/s ≅ 562.267 kt

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