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 1588 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1588 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
1588 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 1588 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 816.93777777707 m/s
The final result is:
1588 kt → 816.93777777707 m/s
We conclude that 1588 knots is equivalent to 816.93777777707 meters per second:
1588 knots = 816.93777777707 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 0.0012240834335279 × 1588 knots.
Another way is saying that 1588 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0012240834335279 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 eighty-eight knots is approximately eight hundred sixteen point nine three eight meters per second:
1588 kt ≅ 816.938 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times one thousand five hundred eighty-eight knots.
