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 1048 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1048 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

1048 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1048 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 539.13777777731 m/s

The final result is:

1048 kt → 539.13777777731 m/s

We conclude that 1048 knots is equivalent to 539.13777777731 meters per second:

1048 knots = 539.13777777731 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 0.0018548134469869 × 1048 knots.

Another way is saying that 1048 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0018548134469869 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-eight knots is approximately five hundred thirty-nine point one three eight meters per second:

1048 kt ≅ 539.138 m/s

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