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 8920 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8920 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

8920 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8920 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 5284.955507564 kt

The final result is:

8920 ft/s → 5284.955507564 kt

We conclude that 8920 feet per second is equivalent to 5284.955507564 knots:

8920 feet per second = 5284.955507564 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0001892163516928 × 8920 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 8920 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0001892163516928 knots.

Approximate result

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

8920 ft/s ≅ 5284.956 kt

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