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 1997 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1997 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
1997 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 1997 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 1027.3455555547 m/s
The final result is:
1997 kt → 1027.3455555547 m/s
We conclude that 1997 knots is equivalent to 1027.3455555547 meters per second:
1997 knots = 1027.3455555547 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 0.00097338231970069 × 1997 knots.
Another way is saying that 1997 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00097338231970069 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 ninety-seven knots is approximately one thousand twenty-seven point three four six meters per second:
1997 kt ≅ 1027.346 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times one thousand nine hundred ninety-seven knots.
