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 5037 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5037 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

5037 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5037 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8501.4982502114 ft/s

The final result is:

5037 kt → 8501.4982502114 ft/s

We conclude that 5037 knots is equivalent to 8501.4982502114 feet per second:

5037 knots = 8501.4982502114 feet per second

Alternative conversion
