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 2520 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 2520 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

2520 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 2520 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1296.3999999989 m/s

The final result is:

2520 kt → 1296.3999999989 m/s

We conclude that 2520 knots is equivalent to 1296.3999999989 meters per second:

2520 knots = 1296.3999999989 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 0.00077136686208027 × 2520 knots.

Another way is saying that 2520 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00077136686208027 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 five hundred twenty knots is approximately one thousand two hundred ninety-six point four meters per second:

2520 kt ≅ 1296.4 m/s

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