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 1471 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 1471 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

1471 m/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1471 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 2859.3952483826 kt

The final result is:

1471 m/s → 2859.3952483826 kt

We conclude that 1471 meters per second is equivalent to 2859.3952483826 knots:

1471 meters per second = 2859.3952483826 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00034972429941808 × 1471 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 1471 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00034972429941808 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 seventy-one meters per second is approximately two thousand eight hundred fifty-nine point three nine five knots:

1471 m/s ≅ 2859.395 kt

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