Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

To convert 9970 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 9970 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

9970 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 9970 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 16827.464275284 ft/s

The final result is:

9970 kt → 16827.464275284 ft/s

We conclude that 9970 knots is equivalent to 16827.464275284 feet per second:

9970 knots = 16827.464275284 feet per second
