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 5122 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5122 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

5122 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5122 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8644.9620880649 ft/s

The final result is:

5122 kt → 8644.9620880649 ft/s

We conclude that 5122 knots is equivalent to 8644.9620880649 feet per second:

5122 knots = 8644.9620880649 feet per second
