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 259 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 259 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

259 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 259 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 133.241111111 m/s

The final result is:

259 kt → 133.241111111 m/s

We conclude that 259 knots is equivalent to 133.241111111 meters per second:

259 knots = 133.241111111 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 0.0075051910905107 × 259 knots.

Another way is saying that 259 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0075051910905107 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-nine knots is approximately one hundred thirty-three point two four one meters per second:

259 kt ≅ 133.241 m/s

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