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 1255 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1255 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
1255 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 1255 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 645.62777777722 m/s
The final result is:
1255 kt → 645.62777777722 m/s
We conclude that 1255 knots is equivalent to 645.62777777722 meters per second:
1255 knots = 645.62777777722 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 0.0015488800736592 × 1255 knots.
Another way is saying that 1255 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0015488800736592 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 fifty-five knots is approximately six hundred forty-five point six two eight meters per second:
1255 kt ≅ 645.628 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times one thousand two hundred fifty-five knots.
