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 970 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 970 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

970 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 970 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 574.70928725752 kt

The final result is:

970 ft/s → 574.70928725752 kt

We conclude that 970 feet per second is equivalent to 574.70928725752 knots:

970 feet per second = 574.70928725752 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0017400101619585 × 970 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 970 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0017400101619585 knots.

Approximate result

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

970 ft/s ≅ 574.709 kt

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