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 1659 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1659 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
1659 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 1659 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 853.4633333326 m/s
The final result is:
1659 kt → 853.4633333326 m/s
We conclude that 1659 knots is equivalent to 853.4633333326 meters per second:
1659 knots = 853.4633333326 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 0.0011716964993624 × 1659 knots.
Another way is saying that 1659 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0011716964993624 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 six hundred fifty-nine knots is approximately eight hundred fifty-three point four six three meters per second:
1659 kt ≅ 853.463 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times one thousand six hundred fifty-nine knots.
