Science fiction often uses nautical analogies to describe space travel. If the starship U.S.S. Enterprise is traveling at warp factor $1.71$, what is its speed in knots and in miles per hour? (Warp $1.71=5.00$ times the speed of light; speed of light $=$ $3.00 \times 10^{\mathrm{s}} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} ; 1 \mathrm{knot}=2000 \mathrm{yd} / \mathrm{h}$, exactly. $)$
