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 9800 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 9800 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

9800 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 9800 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 5806.3412527048 kt

The final result is:

9800 ft/s → 5806.3412527048 kt

We conclude that 9800 feet per second is equivalent to 5806.3412527048 knots:

9800 feet per second = 5806.3412527048 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00017222549562242 × 9800 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 9800 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00017222549562242 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that nine thousand eight hundred feet per second is approximately five thousand eight hundred six point three four one knots:

9800 ft/s ≅ 5806.341 kt

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