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 255 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 255 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
255 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 255 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 131.18333333322 m/s
The final result is:
255 kt → 131.18333333322 m/s
We conclude that 255 knots is equivalent to 131.18333333322 meters per second:
255 knots = 131.18333333322 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 0.007622919578205 × 255 knots.
Another way is saying that 255 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.007622919578205 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-five knots is approximately one hundred thirty-one point one eight three meters per second:
255 kt ≅ 131.183 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero eight times two hundred fifty-five knots.
