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 5716 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5716 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

5716 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5716 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 9647.5211431821 ft/s

The final result is:

5716 kt → 9647.5211431821 ft/s

We conclude that 5716 knots is equivalent to 9647.5211431821 feet per second:

5716 knots = 9647.5211431821 feet per second
