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 2940 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 2940 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
2940 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 2940 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 1512.4666666654 m/s
The final result is:
2940 kt → 1512.4666666654 m/s
We conclude that 2940 knots is equivalent to 1512.4666666654 meters per second:
2940 knots = 1512.4666666654 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 0.0006611715960688 × 2940 knots.
Another way is saying that 2940 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0006611715960688 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 forty knots is approximately one thousand five hundred twelve point four six seven meters per second:
2940 kt ≅ 1512.467 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times two thousand nine hundred forty knots.
