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 3038 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3038 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

3038 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3038 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5127.566345869 ft/s

The final result is:

3038 kt → 5127.566345869 ft/s

We conclude that 3038 knots is equivalent to 5127.566345869 feet per second:

3038 knots = 5127.566345869 feet per second

Alternative conversion
