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 121 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 121 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

121 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 121 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 62.247777777724 m/s

The final result is:

121 kt → 62.247777777724 m/s

We conclude that 121 knots is equivalent to 62.247777777724 meters per second:

121 knots = 62.247777777724 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 0.016064830516052 × 121 knots.

Another way is saying that 121 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.016064830516052 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one hundred twenty-one knots is approximately sixty-two point two four eight meters per second:

121 kt ≅ 62.248 m/s

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