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 505 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 505 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
505 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 505 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 852.34397783537 ft/s
The final result is:
505 kt → 852.34397783537 ft/s
We conclude that 505 knots is equivalent to 852.34397783537 feet per second:
505 knots = 852.34397783537 feet per second
Alternative conversion
