Speed(Meter/second) = Speed(Knot) / 1.9438444924

To convert any given speed from knot to meter/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 Meter/second.

Answer:

Given:

The speed in knot is:

Speed(Knot) = 15

Formula:

The formula to convert speed from knot to meter/second is:

Speed(Meter/second) = Speed(Knot) / 1.9438444924

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Speed(Knot) = 15 in the above formula.

Speed(Meter/second) = 15 / 1.9438444924

Speed(Meter/second) = 7.7167

Final Answer:

Therefore, 15 kt is equal to 7.7167 m/s.

The speed is 7.7167 m/s, in meter/second.

2

An aircraft cruises at a speed of 250 knots.
Convert this speed from knots to Meter/second.

Answer:

Given:

The speed in knot is:

Speed(Knot) = 250

Formula:

The formula to convert speed from knot to meter/second is:

Speed(Meter/second) = Speed(Knot) / 1.9438444924

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Speed(Knot) = 250 in the above formula.

Speed(Meter/second) = 250 / 1.9438444924

Speed(Meter/second) = 128.6111

Final Answer:

Therefore, 250 kt is equal to 128.6111 m/s.

The speed is 128.6111 m/s, in meter/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.

Meter/second

The meter per second (m/s) is a unit of speed or velocity in the metric system, representing the distance traveled in meters over one second. It is commonly used in physics and engineering to describe how quickly an object is moving or how fast a process is occurring. This unit is fundamental in scientific contexts, where precise measurements of speed are required.
