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 5462 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5462 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

5462 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5462 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3236.146522681 kt

The final result is:

5462 ft/s → 3236.146522681 kt

We conclude that 5462 feet per second is equivalent to 3236.146522681 knots:

5462 feet per second = 3236.146522681 knots

Alternative conversion
