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 5333 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5333 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

5333 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5333 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 9001.0899679129 ft/s

The final result is:

5333 kt → 9001.0899679129 ft/s

We conclude that 5333 knots is equivalent to 9001.0899679129 feet per second:

5333 knots = 9001.0899679129 feet per second

Alternative conversion
