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 510.5 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 510.5 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
510.5 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 510.5 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 861.62693204942 ft/s
The final result is:
510.5 kt → 861.62693204942 ft/s
We conclude that 510.5 knots is equivalent to 861.62693204942 feet per second:
510.5 knots = 861.62693204942 feet per second
