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 504.5 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 504.5 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

504.5 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 504.5 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 298.90807775404 kt

The final result is:

504.5 ft/s → 298.90807775404 kt

We conclude that 504.5 feet per second is equivalent to 298.90807775404 knots:

504.5 feet per second = 298.90807775404 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0033455101230916 × 504.5 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 504.5 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0033455101230916 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five hundred four point five feet per second is approximately two hundred ninety-eight point nine zero eight knots:

504.5 ft/s ≅ 298.908 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero three times five hundred four point five feet per second.
