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 965 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 965 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

965 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 965 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1628.7365121012 ft/s

The final result is:

965 kt → 1628.7365121012 ft/s

We conclude that 965 knots is equivalent to 1628.7365121012 feet per second:

965 knots = 1628.7365121012 feet per second

Alternative conversion
