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 1420 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1420 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
1420 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 1420 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 730.51111111048 m/s
The final result is:
1420 kt → 730.51111111048 m/s
We conclude that 1420 knots is equivalent to 730.51111111048 meters per second:
1420 knots = 730.51111111048 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 0.0013689045721425 × 1420 knots.
Another way is saying that 1420 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0013689045721425 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 twenty knots is approximately seven hundred thirty point five one one meters per second:
1420 kt ≅ 730.511 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times one thousand four hundred twenty knots.
