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 5011 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5011 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

5011 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5011 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2968.9363282963 kt

The final result is:

5011 ft/s → 2968.9363282963 kt

We conclude that 5011 feet per second is equivalent to 2968.9363282963 knots:

5011 feet per second = 2968.9363282963 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0003368209652963 × 5011 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 5011 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0003368209652963 knots.

Approximate result

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

5011 ft/s ≅ 2968.936 kt

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