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 9646 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 9646 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

9646 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 9646 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 5715.0987473052 kt

The final result is:

9646 ft/s → 5715.0987473052 kt

We conclude that 9646 feet per second is equivalent to 5715.0987473052 knots:

9646 feet per second = 5715.0987473052 knots

Alternative conversion
