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 2480 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 2480 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
2480 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 2480 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 1275.8222222211 m/s
The final result is:
2480 kt → 1275.8222222211 m/s
We conclude that 2480 knots is equivalent to 1275.8222222211 meters per second:
2480 knots = 1275.8222222211 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 0.00078380826308157 × 2480 knots.
Another way is saying that 2480 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00078380826308157 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 eighty knots is approximately one thousand two hundred seventy-five point eight two two meters per second:
2480 kt ≅ 1275.822 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times two thousand four hundred eighty knots.
