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 2000 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 2000 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

2000 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 2000 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1028.888888888 m/s

The final result is:

2000 kt → 1028.888888888 m/s

We conclude that 2000 knots is equivalent to 1028.888888888 meters per second:

2000 knots = 1028.888888888 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 0.00097192224622114 × 2000 knots.

Another way is saying that 2000 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00097192224622114 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that two thousand knots is approximately one thousand twenty-eight point eight eight nine meters per second:

2000 kt ≅ 1028.889 m/s

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