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 5225 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5225 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

5225 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5225 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8818.8065033461 ft/s

The final result is:

5225 kt → 8818.8065033461 ft/s

We conclude that 5225 knots is equivalent to 8818.8065033461 feet per second:

5225 knots = 8818.8065033461 feet per second
