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 1059 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1059 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

1059 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1059 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 544.7966666662 m/s

The final result is:

1059 kt → 544.7966666662 m/s

We conclude that 1059 knots is equivalent to 544.7966666662 meters per second:

1059 knots = 544.7966666662 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 0.0018355472072165 × 1059 knots.

Another way is saying that 1059 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0018355472072165 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 fifty-nine knots is approximately five hundred forty-four point seven nine seven meters per second:

1059 kt ≅ 544.797 m/s

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