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 28.7 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 28.7 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
28.7 m/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 28.7 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt
V(kt) = 55.788336933094 kt
The final result is:
28.7 m/s → 55.788336933094 kt
We conclude that 28.7 meters per second is equivalent to 55.788336933094 knots:
28.7 meters per second = 55.788336933094 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.017924893534634 × 28.7 meters per second.
Another way is saying that 28.7 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.017924893534634 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that twenty-eight point seven meters per second is approximately fifty-five point seven eight eight knots:
28.7 m/s ≅ 55.788 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero one eight times twenty-eight point seven meters per second.
