Conversion formula

The conversion factor from meters per second to knots is 1.9438444924423, which means that 1 meter per second is equal to 1.9438444924423 knots:

1 m/s = 1.9438444924423 kt

To convert 142 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 142 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from meters per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 m/s → 1.9438444924423 kt

142 m/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 142 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 276.0259179268 kt

The final result is:

142 m/s → 276.0259179268 kt

We conclude that 142 meters per second is equivalent to 276.0259179268 knots:

142 meters per second = 276.0259179268 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0036228482003099 × 142 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 142 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0036228482003099 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one hundred forty-two meters per second is approximately two hundred seventy-six point zero two six knots:

142 m/s ≅ 276.026 kt

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