Conversion formula

The conversion factor from meters per second to knots is 1.9438444924423, which means that 1 meter per second is equal to 1.9438444924423 knots:

1 m/s = 1.9438444924423 kt

To convert 1 meter per second into knots we have to multiply 1 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from meters per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 m/s → 1.9438444924423 kt

1 m/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 1 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 1.9438444924423 kt

The final result is:

1 m/s → 1.9438444924423 kt

We conclude that 1 meter per second is equivalent to 1.9438444924423 knots:

1 meter per second = 1.9438444924423 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.514444444444 × 1 meter per second.

Another way is saying that 1 meter per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.514444444444 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one meter per second is approximately one point nine four four knots:

1 m/s ≅ 1.944 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point five one four times one meter per second.
