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 5008 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5008 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

5008 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5008 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2967.1588768924 kt

The final result is:

5008 ft/s → 2967.1588768924 kt

We conclude that 5008 feet per second is equivalent to 2967.1588768924 knots:

5008 feet per second = 2967.1588768924 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00033702273504388 × 5008 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 5008 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00033702273504388 knots.

Approximate result

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

5008 ft/s ≅ 2967.159 kt

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