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 189 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 189 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

189 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 189 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 97.229999999916 m/s

The final result is:

189 kt → 97.229999999916 m/s

We conclude that 189 knots is equivalent to 97.229999999916 meters per second:

189 knots = 97.229999999916 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 0.010284891494404 × 189 knots.

Another way is saying that 189 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.010284891494404 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one hundred eighty-nine knots is approximately ninety-seven point two three meters per second:

189 kt ≅ 97.23 m/s

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