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 1240 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1240 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
1240 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 1240 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 637.91111111056 m/s
The final result is:
1240 kt → 637.91111111056 m/s
We conclude that 1240 knots is equivalent to 637.91111111056 meters per second:
1240 knots = 637.91111111056 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 0.0015676165261631 × 1240 knots.
Another way is saying that 1240 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0015676165261631 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 forty knots is approximately six hundred thirty-seven point nine one one meters per second:
1240 kt ≅ 637.911 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times one thousand two hundred forty knots.
