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 2470 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 2470 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
2470 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 2470 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 1270.6777777767 m/s
The final result is:
2470 kt → 1270.6777777767 m/s
We conclude that 2470 knots is equivalent to 1270.6777777767 meters per second:
2470 knots = 1270.6777777767 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 0.00078698157588756 × 2470 knots.
Another way is saying that 2470 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00078698157588756 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 four hundred seventy knots is approximately one thousand two hundred seventy point six seven eight meters per second:
2470 kt ≅ 1270.678 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times two thousand four hundred seventy knots.
