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 5720 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5720 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

5720 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5720 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3389.0073434155 kt

The final result is:

5720 ft/s → 3389.0073434155 kt

We conclude that 5720 feet per second is equivalent to 3389.0073434155 knots:

5720 feet per second = 3389.0073434155 knots

Alternative conversion
