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 254 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 254 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

254 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 254 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 130.66888888878 m/s

The final result is:

254 kt → 130.66888888878 m/s

We conclude that 254 knots is equivalent to 130.66888888878 meters per second:

254 knots = 130.66888888878 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 0.0076529310726074 × 254 knots.

Another way is saying that 254 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0076529310726074 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-four knots is approximately one hundred thirty point six six nine meters per second:

254 kt ≅ 130.669 m/s

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