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 8620 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8620 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
8620 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 8620 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 5107.210367175 kt
The final result is:
8620 ft/s → 5107.210367175 kt
We conclude that 8620 feet per second is equivalent to 5107.210367175 knots:
8620 feet per second = 5107.210367175 knots
