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 8950 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8950 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

8950 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8950 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 5302.7300216029 kt

The final result is:

8950 ft/s → 5302.7300216029 kt

We conclude that 8950 feet per second is equivalent to 5302.7300216029 knots:

8950 feet per second = 5302.7300216029 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00018858210693852 × 8950 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 8950 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00018858210693852 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 fifty feet per second is approximately five thousand three hundred two point seven three knots:

8950 ft/s ≅ 5302.73 kt

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