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 2509 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2509 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

2509 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 2509 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 4234.7149314632 ft/s

The final result is:

2509 kt → 4234.7149314632 ft/s

We conclude that 2509 knots is equivalent to 4234.7149314632 feet per second:

2509 knots = 4234.7149314632 feet per second

Alternative conversion
