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 4640 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4640 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

4640 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4640 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 7831.4377369428 ft/s

The final result is:

4640 kt → 7831.4377369428 ft/s

We conclude that 4640 knots is equivalent to 7831.4377369428 feet per second:

4640 knots = 7831.4377369428 feet per second

Alternative conversion
