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 5005 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5005 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

5005 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5005 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8447.4883347842 ft/s

The final result is:

5005 kt → 8447.4883347842 ft/s

We conclude that 5005 knots is equivalent to 8447.4883347842 feet per second:

5005 knots = 8447.4883347842 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 0.0001183783818774 × 5005 knots.

Another way is saying that 5005 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0001183783818774 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 five knots is approximately eight thousand four hundred forty-seven point four eight eight feet per second:

5005 kt ≅ 8447.488 ft/s

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