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 2142 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 2142 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
2142 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 2142 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 1101.939999999 m/s
The final result is:
2142 kt → 1101.939999999 m/s
We conclude that 2142 knots is equivalent to 1101.939999999 meters per second:
2142 knots = 1101.939999999 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 0.00090749042597679 × 2142 knots.
Another way is saying that 2142 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00090749042597679 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 one hundred forty-two knots is approximately one thousand one hundred one point nine four meters per second:
2142 kt ≅ 1101.94 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times two thousand one hundred forty-two knots.
