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 1940 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1940 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
1940 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 1940 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 998.02222222136 m/s
The final result is:
1940 kt → 998.02222222136 m/s
We conclude that 1940 knots is equivalent to 998.02222222136 meters per second:
1940 knots = 998.02222222136 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 0.0010019816971352 × 1940 knots.
Another way is saying that 1940 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0010019816971352 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 nine hundred forty knots is approximately nine hundred ninety-eight point zero two two meters per second:
1940 kt ≅ 998.022 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times one thousand nine hundred forty knots.
