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 1042 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1042 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

1042 kt → V(m/s)

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

V(m/s) = 1042 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V(m/s) = 536.05111111065 m/s

The final result is:

1042 kt → 536.05111111065 m/s

We conclude that 1042 knots is equivalent to 536.05111111065 meters per second:

1042 knots = 536.05111111065 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 0.0018654937547431 × 1042 knots.

Another way is saying that 1042 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0018654937547431 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 forty-two knots is approximately five hundred thirty-six point zero five one meters per second:

1042 kt ≅ 536.051 m/s

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