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 140 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 140 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
140 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 140 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 72.02222222216 m/s
The final result is:
140 kt → 72.02222222216 m/s
We conclude that 140 knots is equivalent to 72.02222222216 meters per second:
140 knots = 72.02222222216 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 0.013884603517445 × 140 knots.
Another way is saying that 140 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.013884603517445 meters per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one hundred forty knots is approximately seventy-two point zero two two meters per second:
140 kt ≅ 72.022 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero one four times one hundred forty knots.
