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 5020 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5020 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
5020 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 5020 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 8472.8054826407 ft/s
The final result is:
5020 kt → 8472.8054826407 ft/s
We conclude that 5020 knots is equivalent to 8472.8054826407 feet per second:
5020 knots = 8472.8054826407 feet per second
Alternative conversion
