Examples

1

A yacht sails at a speed of 15 knots.
Convert this speed from knots to Velocity of Light (in vacuum).

Answer:

Given:

The speed in knot is:

Speed(Knot) = 15

Formula:

The formula to convert speed from knot to velocity of light (in vacuum) is:

Speed(Velocity of Light (in vacuum)) = Speed(Knot) × 3.335640951e-9 / 1.9438444924

Substitution:

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

Speed(Velocity of Light (in vacuum)) = 15 × 3.335640951e-9 / 1.9438444924

Speed(Velocity of Light (in vacuum)) = 2.574e-8

Final Answer:

Therefore, 15 kt is equal to 2.574e-8 .

The speed is 2.574e-8 , in velocity of light (in vacuum).

2

An aircraft cruises at a speed of 250 knots.
Convert this speed from knots to Velocity of Light (in vacuum).

Answer:

Given:

The speed in knot is:

Speed(Knot) = 250

Formula:

The formula to convert speed from knot to velocity of light (in vacuum) is:

Speed(Velocity of Light (in vacuum)) = Speed(Knot) × 3.335640951e-9 / 1.9438444924

Substitution:

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

Speed(Velocity of Light (in vacuum)) = 250 × 3.335640951e-9 / 1.9438444924

Speed(Velocity of Light (in vacuum)) = 4.29e-7

Final Answer:

Therefore, 250 kt is equal to 4.29e-7 .

The speed is 4.29e-7 , in velocity of light (in vacuum).

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.

Velocity of Light (in vacuum)

The velocity of light (c) is a constant that represents the speed at which light travels in a vacuum, approximately 299,792,458 meters per second. It is a fundamental constant in physics and is used in various equations, such as Einstein's theory of relativity. This speed is the upper limit for the speed at which information or matter can travel.
