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 5255 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5255 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

5255 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5255 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3113.5023758126 kt

The final result is:

5255 ft/s → 3113.5023758126 kt

We conclude that 5255 feet per second is equivalent to 3113.5023758126 knots:

5255 feet per second = 3113.5023758126 knots
