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 8000 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8000 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
8000 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 8000 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 4739.8704103713 kt
The final result is:
8000 ft/s → 4739.8704103713 kt
We conclude that 8000 feet per second is equivalent to 4739.8704103713 knots:
8000 feet per second = 4739.8704103713 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00021097623213747 × 8000 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 8000 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00021097623213747 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eight thousand feet per second is approximately four thousand seven hundred thirty-nine point eight seven knots:
8000 ft/s ≅ 4739.87 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero times eight thousand feet per second.
