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 5001 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5001 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

5001 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5001 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8440.7370953558 ft/s

The final result is:

5001 kt → 8440.7370953558 ft/s

We conclude that 5001 knots is equivalent to 8440.7370953558 feet per second:

5001 knots = 8440.7370953558 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 0.00011847306564615 × 5001 knots.

Another way is saying that 5001 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00011847306564615 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 one knots is approximately eight thousand four hundred forty point seven three seven feet per second:

5001 kt ≅ 8440.737 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero times five thousand one knots.
