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 947.4 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 947.4 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
947.4 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 947.4 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 1599.0310586163 ft/s
The final result is:
947.4 kt → 1599.0310586163 ft/s
We conclude that 947.4 knots is equivalent to 1599.0310586163 feet per second:
947.4 knots = 1599.0310586163 feet per second
