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 1230 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1230 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

1230 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1230 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 632.76666666612 m/s

The final result is:

1230 kt → 632.76666666612 m/s

We conclude that 1230 knots is equivalent to 632.76666666612 meters per second:

1230 knots = 632.76666666612 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 0.0015803613759693 × 1230 knots.

Another way is saying that 1230 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0015803613759693 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 two hundred thirty knots is approximately six hundred thirty-two point seven six seven meters per second:

1230 kt ≅ 632.767 m/s

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