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 38.5 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 38.5 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
38.5 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 38.5 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 22.810626349912 kt
The final result is:
38.5 ft/s → 22.810626349912 kt
We conclude that 38.5 feet per second is equivalent to 22.810626349912 knots:
38.5 feet per second = 22.810626349912 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.043839217067526 × 38.5 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 38.5 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.043839217067526 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that thirty-eight point five feet per second is approximately twenty-two point eight one one knots:
38.5 ft/s ≅ 22.811 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero four four times thirty-eight point five feet per second.
