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 1460 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 1460 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

1460 m/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1460 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 2838.0129589657 kt

The final result is:

1460 m/s → 2838.0129589657 kt

We conclude that 1460 meters per second is equivalent to 2838.0129589657 knots:

1460 meters per second = 2838.0129589657 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00035235920852329 × 1460 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 1460 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00035235920852329 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand four hundred sixty meters per second is approximately two thousand eight hundred thirty-eight point zero one three knots:

1460 m/s ≅ 2838.013 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero times one thousand four hundred sixty meters per second.
