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 960 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 960 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

960 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 960 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1620.2974628157 ft/s

The final result is:

960 kt → 1620.2974628157 ft/s

We conclude that 960 knots is equivalent to 1620.2974628157 feet per second:

960 knots = 1620.2974628157 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 0.00061717062635043 × 960 knots.

Another way is saying that 960 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00061717062635043 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 sixty knots is approximately one thousand six hundred twenty point two nine seven feet per second:

960 kt ≅ 1620.297 ft/s

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