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 5022 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5022 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

5022 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5022 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8476.1811023549 ft/s

The final result is:

5022 kt → 8476.1811023549 ft/s

We conclude that 5022 knots is equivalent to 8476.1811023549 feet per second:

5022 knots = 8476.1811023549 feet per second

Alternative conversion
