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 1980 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1980 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
1980 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 1980 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 3341.8635170575 ft/s
The final result is:
1980 kt → 3341.8635170575 ft/s
We conclude that 1980 knots is equivalent to 3341.8635170575 feet per second:
