What is the Formula to convert Knot (UK) to Velocity of Light (in vacuum)?

The formula to convert given speed from Knot (UK) to Velocity of Light (in vacuum) is:

Speed(Velocity of Light (in vacuum)) = Speed(Knot (UK)) × 3.335640951e-9 / 1.9426025694

Substitute the given value of speed in knot (uk), i.e., Speed(Knot (UK)) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the speed in velocity of light (in vacuum), i.e., Speed(Velocity of Light (in vacuum)).

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

A fishing boat travels at a speed of 12 knots (UK).
Convert this speed from knots (UK) to Velocity of Light (in vacuum).

Answer:

Given:

The speed in knot (uk) is:

Speed(Knot (UK)) = 12

Formula:

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

Speed(Velocity of Light (in vacuum)) = Speed(Knot (UK)) × 3.335640951e-9 / 1.9426025694

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Speed(Knot (UK)) = 12 in the above formula.

Speed(Velocity of Light (in vacuum)) = 12 × 3.335640951e-9 / 1.9426025694

Speed(Velocity of Light (in vacuum)) = 2.061e-8

Final Answer:

Therefore, 12 kt (UK) is equal to 2.061e-8 .

The speed is 2.061e-8 , in velocity of light (in vacuum).

2

A naval ship moves at a speed of 30 knots (UK).
Convert this speed from knots (UK) to Velocity of Light (in vacuum).

Answer:

Given:

The speed in knot (uk) is:

Speed(Knot (UK)) = 30

Formula:

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

Speed(Velocity of Light (in vacuum)) = Speed(Knot (UK)) × 3.335640951e-9 / 1.9426025694

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Speed(Knot (UK)) = 30 in the above formula.

Speed(Velocity of Light (in vacuum)) = 30 × 3.335640951e-9 / 1.9426025694

Speed(Velocity of Light (in vacuum)) = 5.151e-8

Final Answer:

Therefore, 30 kt (UK) is equal to 5.151e-8 .

The speed is 5.151e-8 , in velocity of light (in vacuum).

Knot (UK)

The knot (UK) is the British version of the knot, used similarly to the international knot to measure speed at sea or in the air. It represents one nautical mile per hour, and while the definition is consistent with the international version, it is sometimes distinguished in historical or traditional contexts.

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.
