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 1889 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1889 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

1889 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1889 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 971.78555555472 m/s

The final result is:

1889 kt → 971.78555555472 m/s

We conclude that 1889 knots is equivalent to 971.78555555472 meters per second:

1889 knots = 971.78555555472 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 0.0010290336116688 × 1889 knots.

Another way is saying that 1889 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0010290336116688 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 eight hundred eighty-nine knots is approximately nine hundred seventy-one point seven eight six meters per second:

1889 kt ≅ 971.786 m/s

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