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 5079 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5079 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

5079 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5079 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3009.2252267845 kt

The final result is:

5079 ft/s → 3009.2252267845 kt

We conclude that 5079 feet per second is equivalent to 3009.2252267845 knots:

5079 feet per second = 3009.2252267845 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00033231145050202 × 5079 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 5079 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00033231145050202 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five thousand seventy-nine feet per second is approximately three thousand nine point two two five knots:

5079 ft/s ≅ 3009.225 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero times five thousand seventy-nine feet per second.
