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 1040 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 1040 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

1040 m/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1040 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 2021.59827214 kt

The final result is:

1040 m/s → 2021.59827214 kt

We conclude that 1040 meters per second is equivalent to 2021.59827214 knots:

1040 meters per second = 2021.59827214 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00049465811965769 × 1040 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 1040 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00049465811965769 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand forty meters per second is approximately two thousand twenty-one point five nine eight knots:

1040 m/s ≅ 2021.598 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero times one thousand forty meters per second.
