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 2991 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 2991 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

2991 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 2991 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1538.703333332 m/s

The final result is:

2991 kt → 1538.703333332 m/s

We conclude that 2991 knots is equivalent to 1538.703333332 meters per second:

2991 knots = 1538.703333332 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 0.00064989785772059 × 2991 knots.

Another way is saying that 2991 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00064989785772059 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 ninety-one knots is approximately one thousand five hundred thirty-eight point seven zero three meters per second:

2991 kt ≅ 1538.703 m/s

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