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 1497 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1497 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

1497 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1497 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 770.12333333267 m/s

The final result is:

1497 kt → 770.12333333267 m/s

We conclude that 1497 knots is equivalent to 770.12333333267 meters per second:

1497 knots = 770.12333333267 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 0.0012984933149247 × 1497 knots.

Another way is saying that 1497 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0012984933149247 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-seven knots is approximately seven hundred seventy point one two three meters per second:

1497 kt ≅ 770.123 m/s

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