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 7989 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 7989 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

7989 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 7989 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4733.353088557 kt

The final result is:

7989 ft/s → 4733.353088557 kt

We conclude that 7989 feet per second is equivalent to 4733.353088557 knots:
