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 160 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 160 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
160 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 160 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 270.04957713596 ft/s
The final result is:
160 kt → 270.04957713596 ft/s
We conclude that 160 knots is equivalent to 270.04957713596 feet per second:
160 knots = 270.04957713596 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 0.0037030237581026 × 160 knots.
Another way is saying that 160 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0037030237581026 feet per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one hundred sixty knots is approximately two hundred seventy point zero five feet per second:
160 kt ≅ 270.05 ft/s
An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero four times one hundred sixty knots.
