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 3008 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 3008 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

3008 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 3008 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1547.4488888876 m/s

The final result is:

3008 kt → 1547.4488888876 m/s

We conclude that 3008 knots is equivalent to 1547.4488888876 meters per second:

3008 knots = 1547.4488888876 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 0.00064622489775342 × 3008 knots.

Another way is saying that 3008 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00064622489775342 meters per second.

Approximate result

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

3008 kt ≅ 1547.449 m/s

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