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 5013 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5013 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

5013 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5013 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8460.990813641 ft/s

The final result is:

5013 kt → 8460.990813641 ft/s

We conclude that 5013 knots is equivalent to 8460.990813641 feet per second:

5013 knots = 8460.990813641 feet per second
