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 9480 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 9480 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

9480 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 9480 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 5616.74643629 kt

The final result is:

9480 ft/s → 5616.74643629 kt

We conclude that 9480 feet per second is equivalent to 5616.74643629 knots:

9480 feet per second = 5616.74643629 knots

Alternative conversion
