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 1500 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1500 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

1500 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1500 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 771.666666666 m/s

The final result is:

1500 kt → 771.666666666 m/s

We conclude that 1500 knots is equivalent to 771.666666666 meters per second:

1500 knots = 771.666666666 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 0.0012958963282949 × 1500 knots.

Another way is saying that 1500 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0012958963282949 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 five hundred knots is approximately seven hundred seventy-one point six six seven meters per second:

1500 kt ≅ 771.667 m/s

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