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 1142 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1142 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
1142 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 1142 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 587.49555555505 m/s
The final result is:
1142 kt → 587.49555555505 m/s
We conclude that 1142 knots is equivalent to 587.49555555505 meters per second:
1142 knots = 587.49555555505 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 0.0017021405362892 × 1142 knots.
Another way is saying that 1142 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0017021405362892 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 forty-two knots is approximately five hundred eighty-seven point four nine six meters per second:
1142 kt ≅ 587.496 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times one thousand one hundred forty-two knots.
