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 1159 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1159 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
1159 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 1159 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 596.2411111106 m/s
The final result is:
1159 kt → 596.2411111106 m/s
We conclude that 1159 knots is equivalent to 596.2411111106 meters per second:
1159 knots = 596.2411111106 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 0.0016771738502522 × 1159 knots.
Another way is saying that 1159 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0016771738502522 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 fifty-nine knots is approximately five hundred ninety-six point two four one meters per second:
1159 kt ≅ 596.241 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times one thousand one hundred fifty-nine knots.
