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 1017 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1017 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

1017 kt → V(m/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:

V(m/s) = 1017 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V(m/s) = 523.18999999955 m/s

The final result is:

1017 kt → 523.18999999955 m/s

We conclude that 1017 knots is equivalent to 523.18999999955 meters per second:

1017 knots = 523.18999999955 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 0.0019113515166591 × 1017 knots.

Another way is saying that 1017 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0019113515166591 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 seventeen knots is approximately five hundred twenty-three point one nine meters per second:

1017 kt ≅ 523.19 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times one thousand seventeen knots.
