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 502 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 502 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

502 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 502 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 297.4268682508 kt

The final result is:

502 ft/s → 297.4268682508 kt

We conclude that 502 feet per second is equivalent to 297.4268682508 knots:

502 feet per second = 297.4268682508 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0033621710300792 × 502 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 502 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0033621710300792 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five hundred two feet per second is approximately two hundred ninety-seven point four two seven knots:

502 ft/s ≅ 297.427 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero three times five hundred two feet per second.
