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 300 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 300 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

300 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 300 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 154.3333333332 m/s

The final result is:

300 kt → 154.3333333332 m/s

We conclude that 300 knots is equivalent to 154.3333333332 meters per second:

300 knots = 154.3333333332 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 0.0064794816414743 × 300 knots.

Another way is saying that 300 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0064794816414743 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that three hundred knots is approximately one hundred fifty-four point three three three meters per second:

300 kt ≅ 154.333 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero six times three hundred knots.
