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 1400 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1400 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

1400 kt → V_(m/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:

V_(m/s) = 1400 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 720.2222222216 m/s

The final result is:

1400 kt → 720.2222222216 m/s

We conclude that 1400 knots is equivalent to 720.2222222216 meters per second:

1400 knots = 720.2222222216 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 0.0013884603517445 × 1400 knots.

Another way is saying that 1400 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0013884603517445 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 four hundred knots is approximately seven hundred twenty point two two two meters per second:

1400 kt ≅ 720.222 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times one thousand four hundred knots.
