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 5000 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5000 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
5000 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 5000 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 8439.0492854987 ft/s
The final result is:
5000 kt → 8439.0492854987 ft/s
We conclude that 5000 knots is equivalent to 8439.0492854987 feet per second:
5000 knots = 8439.0492854987 feet per second
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.00011849676025928 × 5000 knots.
Another way is saying that 5000 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00011849676025928 feet per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five thousand knots is approximately eight thousand four hundred thirty-nine point zero four nine feet per second:
5000 kt ≅ 8439.049 ft/s
An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero times five thousand knots.
