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 1589 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1589 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

1589 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1589 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 817.45222222152 m/s

The final result is:

1589 kt → 817.45222222152 m/s

We conclude that 1589 knots is equivalent to 817.45222222152 meters per second:

1589 knots = 817.45222222152 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 0.0012233130852374 × 1589 knots.

Another way is saying that 1589 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0012233130852374 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-nine knots is approximately eight hundred seventeen point four five two meters per second:

1589 kt ≅ 817.452 m/s

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