Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 4809 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 4809 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

4809 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 4809 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2849.2546004344 kt

The final result is:

4809 ft/s → 2849.2546004344 kt

We conclude that 4809 feet per second is equivalent to 2849.2546004344 knots:

4809 feet per second = 2849.2546004344 knots

Alternative conversion
