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 1690 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1690 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

1690 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1690 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 869.41111111036 m/s

The final result is:

1690 kt → 869.41111111036 m/s

We conclude that 1690 knots is equivalent to 869.41111111036 meters per second:

1690 knots = 869.41111111036 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 0.0011502038416818 × 1690 knots.

Another way is saying that 1690 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0011502038416818 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 ninety knots is approximately eight hundred sixty-nine point four one one meters per second:

1690 kt ≅ 869.411 m/s

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