Conversion formula

The conversion factor from kilometers per hour to knots is 0.53995680345662, which means that 1 kilometer per hour is equal to 0.53995680345662 knots:

1 km/h = 0.53995680345662 kt

To convert 5509 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 5509 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from kilometers per hour to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 km/h → 0.53995680345662 kt

5509 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5509 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 2974.6220302425 kt

The final result is:

5509 km/h → 2974.6220302425 kt

We conclude that 5509 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 2974.6220302425 knots:

5509 kilometers per hour = 2974.6220302425 knots

Alternative conversion
