Conversion formula

The conversion factor from meters per second to knots is 1.9438444924423, which means that 1 meter per second is equal to 1.9438444924423 knots:

1 m/s = 1.9438444924423 kt

To convert 1538 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 1538 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from meters per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 m/s → 1.9438444924423 kt

1538 m/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 1538 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 2989.6328293762 kt

The final result is:

1538 m/s → 2989.6328293762 kt

We conclude that 1538 meters per second is equivalent to 2989.6328293762 knots:

1538 meters per second = 2989.6328293762 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0003344892356593 × 1538 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 1538 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0003344892356593 knots.

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-eight meters per second is approximately two thousand nine hundred eighty-nine point six three three knots:

1538 m/s ≅ 2989.633 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero times one thousand five hundred thirty-eight meters per second.
