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 2490 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 2490 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

2490 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 2490 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1280.9666666656 m/s

The final result is:

2490 kt → 1280.9666666656 m/s

We conclude that 2490 knots is equivalent to 1280.9666666656 meters per second:

2490 knots = 1280.9666666656 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 0.00078066043873184 × 2490 knots.

Another way is saying that 2490 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00078066043873184 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 ninety knots is approximately one thousand two hundred eighty point nine six seven meters per second:

2490 kt ≅ 1280.967 m/s

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