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 5689 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5689 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

5689 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5689 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 9601.9502770404 ft/s

The final result is:

5689 kt → 9601.9502770404 ft/s

We conclude that 5689 knots is equivalent to 9601.9502770404 feet per second:

5689 knots = 9601.9502770404 feet per second
