Conversion formula

The conversion factor from kilometers per hour to knots is 0.53995680345662, which means that 1 kilometer per hour is equal to 0.53995680345662 knots:

1 km/h = 0.53995680345662 kt

To convert 2949 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 2949 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from kilometers per hour to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 km/h → 0.53995680345662 kt

2949 km/h → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 2949 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 1592.3326133936 kt

The final result is:

2949 km/h → 1592.3326133936 kt

We conclude that 2949 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 1592.3326133936 knots:

2949 kilometers per hour = 1592.3326133936 knots

Alternative conversion
