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 5021 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5021 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

5021 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5021 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8474.4932924978 ft/s

The final result is:

5021 kt → 8474.4932924978 ft/s

We conclude that 5021 knots is equivalent to 8474.4932924978 feet per second:

5021 knots = 8474.4932924978 feet per second

Alternative conversion
