Conversion formula
The conversion factor from knots to meters per second is 0.514444444444, which means that 1 knot is equal to 0.514444444444 meters per second:
1 kt = 0.514444444444 m/s
To convert 1008 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1008 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to meters per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 kt → 0.514444444444 m/s
1008 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 1008 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 518.55999999955 m/s
The final result is:
1008 kt → 518.55999999955 m/s
We conclude that 1008 knots is equivalent to 518.55999999955 meters per second:
1008 knots = 518.55999999955 meters per second
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter per second is equal to 0.0019284171552007 × 1008 knots.
Another way is saying that 1008 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0019284171552007 meters per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand eight knots is approximately five hundred eighteen point five six meters per second:
1008 kt ≅ 518.56 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times one thousand eight knots.
