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 1516 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1516 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
1516 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 1516 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 779.8977777771 m/s
The final result is:
1516 kt → 779.8977777771 m/s
We conclude that 1516 knots is equivalent to 779.8977777771 meters per second:
1516 knots = 779.8977777771 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 0.0012822193221915 × 1516 knots.
Another way is saying that 1516 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0012822193221915 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 sixteen knots is approximately seven hundred seventy-nine point eight nine eight meters per second:
1516 kt ≅ 779.898 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times one thousand five hundred sixteen knots.
