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 4020 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4020 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

4020 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4020 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 6784.9956255409 ft/s

The final result is:

4020 kt → 6784.9956255409 ft/s

We conclude that 4020 knots is equivalent to 6784.9956255409 feet per second:

4020 knots = 6784.9956255409 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.00014738403017324 × 4020 knots.

Another way is saying that 4020 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00014738403017324 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that four thousand twenty knots is approximately six thousand seven hundred eighty-four point nine nine six feet per second:

4020 kt ≅ 6784.996 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero times four thousand twenty knots.
