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 8501 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8501 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

8501 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8501 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 5036.7047948208 kt

The final result is:

8501 ft/s → 5036.7047948208 kt

We conclude that 8501 feet per second is equivalent to 5036.7047948208 knots:

8501 feet per second = 5036.7047948208 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00019854250759908 × 8501 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 8501 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00019854250759908 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eight thousand five hundred one feet per second is approximately five thousand thirty-six point seven zero five knots:

8501 ft/s ≅ 5036.705 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero times eight thousand five hundred one feet per second.
