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 5715 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5715 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

5715 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5715 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 9645.833333325 ft/s

The final result is:

5715 kt → 9645.833333325 ft/s

We conclude that 5715 knots is equivalent to 9645.833333325 feet per second:

5715 knots = 9645.833333325 feet per second
