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 500 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 500 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

500 ft/s → V(kt)

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

V(kt) = 500 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V(kt) = 296.2419006482 kt

The final result is:

500 ft/s → 296.2419006482 kt

We conclude that 500 feet per second is equivalent to 296.2419006482 knots:

500 feet per second = 296.2419006482 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0033756197141995 × 500 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 500 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0033756197141995 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five hundred feet per second is approximately two hundred ninety-six point two four two knots:

500 ft/s ≅ 296.242 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero three times five hundred feet per second.
