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 5024 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5024 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

5024 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5024 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8479.5567220691 ft/s

The final result is:

5024 kt → 8479.5567220691 ft/s

We conclude that 5024 knots is equivalent to 8479.5567220691 feet per second:

5024 knots = 8479.5567220691 feet per second

Alternative conversion
