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 5075 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5075 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

5075 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5075 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8565.6350247812 ft/s

The final result is:

5075 kt → 8565.6350247812 ft/s

We conclude that 5075 knots is equivalent to 8565.6350247812 feet per second:
