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 1090 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1090 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

1090 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1090 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 560.74444444396 m/s

The final result is:

1090 kt → 560.74444444396 m/s

We conclude that 1090 knots is equivalent to 560.74444444396 meters per second:

1090 knots = 560.74444444396 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 0.001783343571048 × 1090 knots.

Another way is saying that 1090 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.001783343571048 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 ninety knots is approximately five hundred sixty point seven four four meters per second:

1090 kt ≅ 560.744 m/s

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