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 1971 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1971 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
1971 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 1971 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 1013.9699999991 m/s
The final result is:
1971 kt → 1013.9699999991 m/s
We conclude that 1971 knots is equivalent to 1013.9699999991 meters per second:
1971 knots = 1013.9699999991 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 0.0009862224720661 × 1971 knots.
Another way is saying that 1971 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0009862224720661 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 seventy-one knots is approximately one thousand thirteen point nine seven meters per second:
1971 kt ≅ 1013.97 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times one thousand nine hundred seventy-one knots.
