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 5230 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5230 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

5230 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5230 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8827.2455526316 ft/s

The final result is:

5230 kt → 8827.2455526316 ft/s

We conclude that 5230 knots is equivalent to 8827.2455526316 feet per second:

5230 knots = 8827.2455526316 feet per second
