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 5008 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5008 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
5008 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 5008 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 8452.5517643555 ft/s
The final result is:
5008 kt → 8452.5517643555 ft/s
We conclude that 5008 knots is equivalent to 8452.5517643555 feet per second:
