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 2857 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2857 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

2857 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2857 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 4822.0727617339 ft/s

The final result is:

2857 kt → 4822.0727617339 ft/s

We conclude that 2857 knots is equivalent to 4822.0727617339 feet per second:
