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 5709 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5709 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

5709 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5709 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 9635.7064741824 ft/s

The final result is:

5709 kt → 9635.7064741824 ft/s

We conclude that 5709 knots is equivalent to 9635.7064741824 feet per second:
