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 501 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 501 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

501 ft/s → V(kt)

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

V(kt) = 501 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V(kt) = 296.8343844495 kt

The final result is:

501 ft/s → 296.8343844495 kt

We conclude that 501 feet per second is equivalent to 296.8343844495 knots:

501 feet per second = 296.8343844495 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0033688819502989 × 501 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 501 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0033688819502989 knots.

Approximate result

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

501 ft/s ≅ 296.834 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero three times five hundred one feet per second.
