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 501 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 501 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

501 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 501 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 845.59273840697 ft/s

The final result is:

501 kt → 845.59273840697 ft/s

We conclude that 501 knots is equivalent to 845.59273840697 feet per second:

501 knots = 845.59273840697 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 0.0011826023977972 × 501 knots.

Another way is saying that 501 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0011826023977972 feet per second.

Approximate result

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

501 kt ≅ 845.593 ft/s

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