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 2972 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 2972 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

2972 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 2972 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1528.9288888876 m/s

The final result is:

2972 kt → 1528.9288888876 m/s

We conclude that 2972 knots is equivalent to 1528.9288888876 meters per second:

2972 knots = 1528.9288888876 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 0.00065405265559969 × 2972 knots.

Another way is saying that 2972 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00065405265559969 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 seventy-two knots is approximately one thousand five hundred twenty-eight point nine two nine meters per second:

2972 kt ≅ 1528.929 m/s

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