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 5155 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5155 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

5155 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5155 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8700.6598133491 ft/s

The final result is:

5155 kt → 8700.6598133491 ft/s

We conclude that 5155 knots is equivalent to 8700.6598133491 feet per second:
