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 8009 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 8009 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

8009 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 8009 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 13517.669145512 ft/s

The final result is:

8009 kt → 13517.669145512 ft/s

We conclude that 8009 knots is equivalent to 13517.669145512 feet per second:

8009 knots = 13517.669145512 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 7.3977250754952E-5 × 8009 knots.

Another way is saying that 8009 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 7.3977250754952E-5 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eight thousand nine knots is approximately thirteen thousand five hundred seventeen point six six nine feet per second:

8009 kt ≅ 13517.669 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero times eight thousand nine knots.
