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 1431 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1431 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

1431 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1431 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 736.16999999936 m/s

The final result is:

1431 kt → 736.16999999936 m/s

We conclude that 1431 knots is equivalent to 736.16999999936 meters per second:

1431 knots = 736.16999999936 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 0.0013583818954873 × 1431 knots.

Another way is saying that 1431 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0013583818954873 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 thirty-one knots is approximately seven hundred thirty-six point one seven meters per second:

1431 kt ≅ 736.17 m/s

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