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 4848 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4848 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

4848 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4848 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8182.5021872195 ft/s

The final result is:

4848 kt → 8182.5021872195 ft/s

We conclude that 4848 knots is equivalent to 8182.5021872195 feet per second:
