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 1047 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1047 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
1047 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 1047 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 538.62333333287 m/s
The final result is:
1047 kt → 538.62333333287 m/s
We conclude that 1047 knots is equivalent to 538.62333333287 meters per second:
1047 knots = 538.62333333287 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 0.0018565849975571 × 1047 knots.
Another way is saying that 1047 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0018565849975571 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-seven knots is approximately five hundred thirty-eight point six two three meters per second:
1047 kt ≅ 538.623 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times one thousand forty-seven knots.
