10,000/1,000 = 10 (knots)

I do not want to go off thread for too long, but: 10,000 yds travelled in 30 minutes means you are traveling at the brisk pace of 16.66666 yds. per second (10,000 [yds] \ 600 [10 (minutes) x 60 (seconds per minute)]). If the target travels for one minute (i.e. 60 seconds), it is galavanting along at the rate of
999.96 yds. per minute (16.66666 [yds. per second] x 60 [seconds].)
