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 252 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 252 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

252 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 252 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 129.63999999989 m/s

The final result is:

252 kt → 129.63999999989 m/s

We conclude that 252 knots is equivalent to 129.63999999989 meters per second:

252 knots = 129.63999999989 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 0.0077136686208027 × 252 knots.

Another way is saying that 252 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0077136686208027 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that two hundred fifty-two knots is approximately one hundred twenty-nine point six four meters per second:

252 kt ≅ 129.64 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero eight times two hundred fifty-two knots.
