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 142 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 142 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

142 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 142 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 73.051111111048 m/s

The final result is:

142 kt → 73.051111111048 m/s

We conclude that 142 knots is equivalent to 73.051111111048 meters per second:

142 knots = 73.051111111048 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 0.013689045721425 × 142 knots.

Another way is saying that 142 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.013689045721425 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-two knots is approximately seventy-three point zero five one meters per second:

142 kt ≅ 73.051 m/s

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