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 1489 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1489 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

1489 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1489 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 766.00777777712 m/s

The final result is:

1489 kt → 766.00777777712 m/s

We conclude that 1489 knots is equivalent to 766.00777777712 meters per second:

1489 knots = 766.00777777712 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 0.001305469773299 × 1489 knots.

Another way is saying that 1489 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.001305469773299 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 eighty-nine knots is approximately seven hundred sixty-six point zero zero eight meters per second:

1489 kt ≅ 766.008 m/s

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