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 5012 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5012 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

5012 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5012 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2969.5288120976 kt

The final result is:

5012 ft/s → 2969.5288120976 kt

We conclude that 5012 feet per second is equivalent to 2969.5288120976 knots:

5012 feet per second = 2969.5288120976 knots

Alternative conversion
