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 1559 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1559 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
1559 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 1559 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 802.0188888882 m/s
The final result is:
1559 kt → 802.0188888882 m/s
We conclude that 1559 knots is equivalent to 802.0188888882 meters per second:
1559 knots = 802.0188888882 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 0.0012468534268392 × 1559 knots.
Another way is saying that 1559 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0012468534268392 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 fifty-nine knots is approximately eight hundred two point zero one nine meters per second:
1559 kt ≅ 802.019 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times one thousand five hundred fifty-nine knots.
