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 5642 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5642 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

5642 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5642 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3342.7936069143 kt

The final result is:

5642 ft/s → 3342.7936069143 kt

We conclude that 5642 feet per second is equivalent to 3342.7936069143 knots:

5642 feet per second = 3342.7936069143 knots

Alternative conversion
