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 1490 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1490 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

1490 kt → V(m/s)

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

V(m/s) = 1490 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V(m/s) = 766.52222222156 m/s

The final result is:

1490 kt → 766.52222222156 m/s

We conclude that 1490 knots is equivalent to 766.52222222156 meters per second:

1490 knots = 766.52222222156 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 0.0013045936190888 × 1490 knots.

Another way is saying that 1490 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0013045936190888 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 ninety knots is approximately seven hundred sixty-six point five two two meters per second:

1490 kt ≅ 766.522 m/s

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