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 2160 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 2160 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

2160 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 2160 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1111.199999999 m/s

The final result is:

2160 kt → 1111.199999999 m/s

We conclude that 2160 knots is equivalent to 1111.199999999 meters per second:

2160 knots = 1111.199999999 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 0.00089992800576032 × 2160 knots.

Another way is saying that 2160 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00089992800576032 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 sixty knots is approximately one thousand one hundred eleven point two meters per second:

2160 kt ≅ 1111.2 m/s

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