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 2020 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 2020 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
2020 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 2020 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 1039.1777777769 m/s
The final result is:
2020 kt → 1039.1777777769 m/s
We conclude that 2020 knots is equivalent to 1039.1777777769 meters per second:
2020 knots = 1039.1777777769 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 0.0009622992536843 × 2020 knots.
Another way is saying that 2020 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0009622992536843 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 twenty knots is approximately one thousand thirty-nine point one seven eight meters per second:
2020 kt ≅ 1039.178 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times two thousand twenty knots.
