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 1170 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1170 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
1170 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 1170 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 601.89999999948 m/s
The final result is:
1170 kt → 601.89999999948 m/s
We conclude that 1170 knots is equivalent to 601.89999999948 meters per second:
1170 knots = 601.89999999948 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 0.001661405549096 × 1170 knots.
Another way is saying that 1170 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.001661405549096 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 seventy knots is approximately six hundred one point nine meters per second:
1170 kt ≅ 601.9 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times one thousand one hundred seventy knots.
