To convert any given speed from knot to kilometer/second, substitute the given value of Speed(Knot) in the above formula, simplify the right-hand side value.
Calculation
Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.
Examples
1
A yacht sails at a speed of 15 knots. Convert this speed from knots to Kilometer/second.
Answer:
Given:
The speed in knot is:
Speed(Knot) = 15
Formula:
The formula to convert speed from knot to kilometer/second is:
Substitute given weight Speed(Knot) = 250 in the above formula.
Speed(Kilometer/second) = 250 / 1943.8444924
Speed(Kilometer/second) = 0.1286
Final Answer:
Therefore, 250 kt is equal to 0.1286 km/s.
The speed is 0.1286 km/s, in kilometer/second.

Knot
The knot (kn) is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour. It is commonly used in maritime and aviation contexts to express the speed of ships and aircraft. The knot is an important unit in navigation, where distances are often measured in nautical miles.
Kilometer/second
The kilometer per second (km/s) is a unit of speed that represents how many kilometers an object travels in one second. This unit is often used in astronomy and space science to describe the velocities of celestial bodies and spacecraft, as these speeds are far beyond those encountered in everyday life.
