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 5005 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5005 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

5005 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5005 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2965.3814254885 kt

The final result is:

5005 ft/s → 2965.3814254885 kt

We conclude that 5005 feet per second is equivalent to 2965.3814254885 knots:

5005 feet per second = 2965.3814254885 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00033722474667327 × 5005 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 5005 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00033722474667327 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five thousand five feet per second is approximately two thousand nine hundred sixty-five point three eight one knots:

5005 ft/s ≅ 2965.381 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero times five thousand five feet per second.
