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 1530 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1530 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

1530 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1530 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 787.09999999932 m/s

The final result is:

1530 kt → 787.09999999932 m/s

We conclude that 1530 knots is equivalent to 787.09999999932 meters per second:

1530 knots = 787.09999999932 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 0.0012704865963675 × 1530 knots.

Another way is saying that 1530 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0012704865963675 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 thirty knots is approximately seven hundred eighty-seven point one meters per second:

1530 kt ≅ 787.1 m/s

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