  2. The calculator converts the given Knot into Mile/second in realtime ⌚ using the conversion formula, and displays under the Mile/second label. You do not need to click any button. If the input changes, Mile/second value is re-calculated, just like that.
  3. You may copy the resulting Mile/second value using the Copy button.
  4. To view a detailed step by step calculation of the conversion, click on the View Calculation button.
  5. You can also reset the input by clicking on Reset button present below the input field.

What is the Formula to convert Knot to Mile/second?

The formula to convert given speed from Knot to Mile/second is:

Speed(Mile/second) = Speed(Knot) × 0.0006213712 / 1.9438444924

Substitute the given value of speed in knot, i.e., Speed(Knot) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the speed in mile/second, i.e., Speed(Mile/second).

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 Mile/second.

Answer:

Given:

The speed in knot is:

Speed(Knot) = 15

Formula:

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

Speed(Mile/second) = Speed(Knot) × 0.0006213712 / 1.9438444924

Substitution:

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

Speed(Mile/second) = 15 × 0.0006213712 / 1.9438444924

Speed(Mile/second) = 0.00479491443

Final Answer:

Therefore, 15 kt is equal to 0.00479491443 mi/s.

The speed is 0.00479491443 mi/s, in mile/second.

2

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

Answer:

Given:

The speed in knot is:

Speed(Knot) = 250

Formula:

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

Speed(Mile/second) = Speed(Knot) × 0.0006213712 / 1.9438444924

Substitution:

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

Speed(Mile/second) = 250 × 0.0006213712 / 1.9438444924

Speed(Mile/second) = 0.07991524045

Final Answer:

Therefore, 250 kt is equal to 0.07991524045 mi/s.

The speed is 0.07991524045 mi/s, in mile/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.

Mile/second

The mile per second (mi/s) is a unit of speed representing the number of miles an object travels in one second. This unit is extremely fast and is generally used in contexts such as space exploration or when describing the speed of meteors or other fast-moving astronomical objects.
