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 5505 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5505 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

5505 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5505 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 9291.3932633341 ft/s

The final result is:

5505 kt → 9291.3932633341 ft/s

We conclude that 5505 knots is equivalent to 9291.3932633341 feet per second:

5505 knots = 9291.3932633341 feet per second
