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 9609 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 9609 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

9609 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 9609 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 5693.1768466572 kt

The final result is:

9609 ft/s → 5693.1768466572 kt

We conclude that 9609 feet per second is equivalent to 5693.1768466572 knots:
