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 1080 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1080 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
1080 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 1080 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 555.59999999952 m/s
The final result is:
1080 kt → 555.59999999952 m/s
We conclude that 1080 knots is equivalent to 555.59999999952 meters per second:
1080 knots = 555.59999999952 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 0.0017998560115206 × 1080 knots.
Another way is saying that 1080 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0017998560115206 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 eighty knots is approximately five hundred fifty-five point six meters per second:
1080 kt ≅ 555.6 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times one thousand eighty knots.
