Conversion formula

The conversion factor from meters per second to knots is 1.9438444924423, which means that 1 meter per second is equal to 1.9438444924423 knots:

1 m/s = 1.9438444924423 kt

To convert 28.4 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 28.4 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from meters per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 m/s → 1.9438444924423 kt

28.4 m/s → V(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V(kt) = 28.4 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V(kt) = 55.205183585361 kt

The final result is:

28.4 m/s → 55.205183585361 kt

We conclude that 28.4 meters per second is equivalent to 55.205183585361 knots:

28.4 meters per second = 55.205183585361 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.018114241001549 × 28.4 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 28.4 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.018114241001549 knots.

Approximate result

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

28.4 m/s ≅ 55.205 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero one eight times twenty-eight point four meters per second.
