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 1120 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1120 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

1120 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1120 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 576.17777777728 m/s

The final result is:

1120 kt → 576.17777777728 m/s

We conclude that 1120 knots is equivalent to 576.17777777728 meters per second:

1120 knots = 576.17777777728 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 0.0017355754396806 × 1120 knots.

Another way is saying that 1120 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0017355754396806 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 one hundred twenty knots is approximately five hundred seventy-six point one seven eight meters per second:

1120 kt ≅ 576.178 m/s

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