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 5301 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5301 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

5301 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5301 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8947.0800524857 ft/s

The final result is:

5301 kt → 8947.0800524857 ft/s

We conclude that 5301 knots is equivalent to 8947.0800524857 feet per second:

5301 knots = 8947.0800524857 feet per second

Alternative conversion
