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 2942 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 2942 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
2942 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 2942 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 1513.4955555542 m/s
The final result is:
2942 kt → 1513.4955555542 m/s
We conclude that 2942 knots is equivalent to 1513.4955555542 meters per second:
2942 knots = 1513.4955555542 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 0.00066072212523531 × 2942 knots.
Another way is saying that 2942 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00066072212523531 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-two knots is approximately one thousand five hundred thirteen point four nine six meters per second:
2942 kt ≅ 1513.496 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times two thousand nine hundred forty-two knots.
