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 1568 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1568 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

1568 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1568 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 806.64888888819 m/s

The final result is:

1568 kt → 806.64888888819 m/s

We conclude that 1568 knots is equivalent to 806.64888888819 meters per second:

1568 knots = 806.64888888819 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 0.001239696742629 × 1568 knots.

Another way is saying that 1568 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.001239696742629 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 sixty-eight knots is approximately eight hundred six point six four nine meters per second:

1568 kt ≅ 806.649 m/s

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