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 5300 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5300 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

5300 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5300 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8945.3922426286 ft/s

The final result is:

5300 kt → 8945.3922426286 ft/s

We conclude that 5300 knots is equivalent to 8945.3922426286 feet per second:

5300 knots = 8945.3922426286 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.00011178939647102 × 5300 knots.

Another way is saying that 5300 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00011178939647102 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five thousand three hundred knots is approximately eight thousand nine hundred forty-five point three nine two feet per second:

5300 kt ≅ 8945.392 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero times five thousand three hundred knots.
