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 5730 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5730 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

5730 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5730 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 9671.1504811815 ft/s

The final result is:

5730 kt → 9671.1504811815 ft/s

We conclude that 5730 knots is equivalent to 9671.1504811815 feet per second:

5730 knots = 9671.1504811815 feet per second
