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 5018 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5018 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

5018 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5018 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8469.4298629265 ft/s

The final result is:

5018 kt → 8469.4298629265 ft/s

We conclude that 5018 knots is equivalent to 8469.4298629265 feet per second:

5018 knots = 8469.4298629265 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 0.00011807170213161 × 5018 knots.

Another way is saying that 5018 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00011807170213161 feet per second.

Approximate result

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

5018 kt ≅ 8469.43 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero times five thousand eighteen knots.
