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 515 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 515 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

515 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 515 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 305.12915766765 kt

The final result is:

515 ft/s → 305.12915766765 kt

We conclude that 515 feet per second is equivalent to 305.12915766765 knots:

515 feet per second = 305.12915766765 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0032773006933975 × 515 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 515 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0032773006933975 knots.

Approximate result

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

515 ft/s ≅ 305.129 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero three times five hundred fifteen feet per second.
