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 515 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 515 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
515 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 515 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 869.22207640636 ft/s
The final result is:
515 kt → 869.22207640636 ft/s
We conclude that 515 knots is equivalent to 869.22207640636 feet per second:
515 knots = 869.22207640636 feet per second
Alternative conversion
