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 5031 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5031 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

5031 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5031 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2980.7860043222 kt

The final result is:

5031 ft/s → 2980.7860043222 kt

We conclude that 5031 feet per second is equivalent to 2980.7860043222 knots:

5031 feet per second = 2980.7860043222 knots

Alternative conversion
