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 1260 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1260 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
1260 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 1260 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 648.19999999944 m/s
The final result is:
1260 kt → 648.19999999944 m/s
We conclude that 1260 knots is equivalent to 648.19999999944 meters per second:
1260 knots = 648.19999999944 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 0.0015427337241605 × 1260 knots.
Another way is saying that 1260 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0015427337241605 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 sixty knots is approximately six hundred forty-eight point two meters per second:
1260 kt ≅ 648.2 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times one thousand two hundred sixty knots.
