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 1689 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1689 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

1689 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1689 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 868.89666666592 m/s

The final result is:

1689 kt → 868.89666666592 m/s

We conclude that 1689 knots is equivalent to 868.89666666592 meters per second:

1689 knots = 868.89666666592 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 0.0011508848386278 × 1689 knots.

Another way is saying that 1689 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0011508848386278 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 eighty-nine knots is approximately eight hundred sixty-eight point eight nine seven meters per second:

1689 kt ≅ 868.897 m/s

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