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 5009 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5009 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

5009 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5009 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8454.2395742126 ft/s

The final result is:

5009 kt → 8454.2395742126 ft/s

We conclude that 5009 knots is equivalent to 8454.2395742126 feet per second:

5009 knots = 8454.2395742126 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 0.00011828384933049 × 5009 knots.

Another way is saying that 5009 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00011828384933049 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 nine knots is approximately eight thousand four hundred fifty-four point two four feet per second:

5009 kt ≅ 8454.24 ft/s

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