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 989.2 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 989.2 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
989.2 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 989.2 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 1669.5815106431 ft/s
The final result is:
989.2 kt → 1669.5815106431 ft/s
We conclude that 989.2 knots is equivalent to 1669.5815106431 feet per second:
