Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to kilometers per hour is 1.8519999999969, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.8519999999969 kilometers per hour:

1 kt = 1.8519999999969 km/h

To convert 2946 knots into kilometers per hour we have to multiply 2946 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to kilometers per hour. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.8519999999969 km/h

2946 kt → V_(km/h)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in kilometers per hour:

V_(km/h) = 2946 kt × 1.8519999999969 km/h

V_(km/h) = 5455.9919999909 km/h

The final result is:

2946 kt → 5455.9919999909 km/h

We conclude that 2946 knots is equivalent to 5455.9919999909 kilometers per hour:

2946 knots = 5455.9919999909 kilometers per hour

Alternative conversion
