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 4989 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 4989 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

4989 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 4989 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2955.9016846678 kt

The final result is:

4989 ft/s → 2955.9016846678 kt

We conclude that 4989 feet per second is equivalent to 2955.9016846678 knots:
