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 1947 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1947 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

1947 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1947 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1001.6233333325 m/s

The final result is:

1947 kt → 1001.6233333325 m/s

We conclude that 1947 knots is equivalent to 1001.6233333325 meters per second:

1947 knots = 1001.6233333325 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 0.00099837929760775 × 1947 knots.

Another way is saying that 1947 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00099837929760775 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-seven knots is approximately one thousand one point six two three meters per second:

1947 kt ≅ 1001.623 m/s

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