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 1020 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1020 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

1020 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1020 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 524.73333333288 m/s

The final result is:

1020 kt → 524.73333333288 m/s

We conclude that 1020 knots is equivalent to 524.73333333288 meters per second:

1020 knots = 524.73333333288 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 0.0019057298945513 × 1020 knots.

Another way is saying that 1020 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0019057298945513 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 twenty knots is approximately five hundred twenty-four point seven three three meters per second:

1020 kt ≅ 524.733 m/s

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