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 980 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 980 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
980 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 980 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 580.63412527048 kt
The final result is:
980 ft/s → 580.63412527048 kt
We conclude that 980 feet per second is equivalent to 580.63412527048 knots:
980 feet per second = 580.63412527048 knots
Alternative conversion
