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 5500 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5500 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
5500 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 5500 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 3258.6609071302 kt
The final result is:
5500 ft/s → 3258.6609071302 kt
We conclude that 5500 feet per second is equivalent to 3258.6609071302 knots:
5500 feet per second = 3258.6609071302 knots
