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 5032 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5032 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

5032 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5032 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2981.3784881235 kt

The final result is:

5032 ft/s → 2981.3784881235 kt

We conclude that 5032 feet per second is equivalent to 2981.3784881235 knots:

5032 feet per second = 2981.3784881235 knots
