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 1427 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1427 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

1427 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1427 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 734.11222222159 m/s

The final result is:

1427 kt → 734.11222222159 m/s

We conclude that 1427 knots is equivalent to 734.11222222159 meters per second:

1427 knots = 734.11222222159 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 0.0013621895532181 × 1427 knots.

Another way is saying that 1427 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0013621895532181 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-seven knots is approximately seven hundred thirty-four point one one two meters per second:

1427 kt ≅ 734.112 m/s

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