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 2908 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 2908 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

2908 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 2908 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1496.0044444432 m/s

The final result is:

2908 kt → 1496.0044444432 m/s

We conclude that 2908 knots is equivalent to 1496.0044444432 meters per second:

2908 knots = 1496.0044444432 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 0.00066844721198153 × 2908 knots.

Another way is saying that 2908 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00066844721198153 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that two thousand nine hundred eight knots is approximately one thousand four hundred ninety-six point zero zero four meters per second:

2908 kt ≅ 1496.004 m/s

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