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 5057 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5057 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

5057 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5057 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8535.2544473534 ft/s

The final result is:

5057 kt → 8535.2544473534 ft/s

We conclude that 5057 knots is equivalent to 8535.2544473534 feet per second:
