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 9488 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 9488 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

9488 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 9488 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 5621.4863067003 kt

The final result is:

9488 ft/s → 5621.4863067003 kt

We conclude that 9488 feet per second is equivalent to 5621.4863067003 knots:

9488 feet per second = 5621.4863067003 knots
