Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a knot in speed measurement?
- A knot is a speed unit equal to one nautical mile per hour, where one nautical mile is exactly 1852 metres.
- Why convert knots to foot per second?
- Converting knots to foot per second helps translate maritime or aviation speeds into units preferred in US engineering, ballistics, and physics.
- How precise is the conversion between knot and foot per second?
- The conversion uses a fixed rate where 1 knot equals approximately 1.6878098571 feet per second, but rounding may affect precision.
Key Terminology
- Knot (kt, kn)
- A speed unit defined as one nautical mile per hour; one nautical mile equals exactly 1852 metres.
- Foot per second (ft/s)
- A speed unit in the US customary and Imperial systems, defined as one foot traveled in one second, exactly 0.3048 metres per second.
- Nautical Mile
- A unit of distance equal to exactly 1852 metres, used in maritime and aviation contexts.
