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 155 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 155 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

155 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 155 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 79.73888888882 m/s

The final result is:

155 kt → 79.73888888882 m/s

We conclude that 155 knots is equivalent to 79.73888888882 meters per second:

155 knots = 79.73888888882 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 0.012540932209305 × 155 knots.

Another way is saying that 155 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.012540932209305 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one hundred fifty-five knots is approximately seventy-nine point seven three nine meters per second:

155 kt ≅ 79.739 m/s

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