Conversion formula
The conversion factor from meters per second to knots is 1.9438444924423, which means that 1 meter per second is equal to 1.9438444924423 knots:
1 m/s = 1.9438444924423 kt
To convert 2.5 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 2.5 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from meters per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 m/s → 1.9438444924423 kt
2.5 m/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 2.5 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt
V(kt) = 4.8596112311057 kt
The final result is:
2.5 m/s → 4.8596112311057 kt
We conclude that 2.5 meters per second is equivalent to 4.8596112311057 knots:
2.5 meters per second = 4.8596112311057 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.2057777777776 × 2.5 meters per second.
Another way is saying that 2.5 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.2057777777776 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that two point five meters per second is approximately four point eight six knots:
2.5 m/s ≅ 4.86 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point two zero six times two point five meters per second.
