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 1266 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1266 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
1266 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 1266 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 651.2866666661 m/s
The final result is:
1266 kt → 651.2866666661 m/s
We conclude that 1266 knots is equivalent to 651.2866666661 meters per second:
1266 knots = 651.2866666661 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 0.0015354221899228 × 1266 knots.
Another way is saying that 1266 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0015354221899228 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-six knots is approximately six hundred fifty-one point two eight seven meters per second:
1266 kt ≅ 651.287 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times one thousand two hundred sixty-six knots.
