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 1962 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1962 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

1962 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1962 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1009.3399999991 m/s

The final result is:

1962 kt → 1009.3399999991 m/s

We conclude that 1962 knots is equivalent to 1009.3399999991 meters per second:

1962 knots = 1009.3399999991 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 0.00099074642835998 × 1962 knots.

Another way is saying that 1962 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00099074642835998 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 sixty-two knots is approximately one thousand nine point three four meters per second:

1962 kt ≅ 1009.34 m/s

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