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 5017 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5017 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
5017 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 5017 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 2972.4912311041 kt
The final result is:
5017 ft/s → 2972.4912311041 kt
We conclude that 5017 feet per second is equivalent to 2972.4912311041 knots:
5017 feet per second = 2972.4912311041 knots
