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 4848 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 4848 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

4848 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 4848 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2872.361468685 kt

The final result is:

4848 ft/s → 2872.361468685 kt

We conclude that 4848 feet per second is equivalent to 2872.361468685 knots:

4848 feet per second = 2872.361468685 knots

Alternative conversion
