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 3040 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 3040 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
3040 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 3040 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 1563.9111111098 m/s
The final result is:
3040 kt → 1563.9111111098 m/s
We conclude that 3040 knots is equivalent to 1563.9111111098 meters per second:
3040 knots = 1563.9111111098 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 0.00063942253040865 × 3040 knots.
Another way is saying that 3040 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00063942253040865 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 forty knots is approximately one thousand five hundred sixty-three point nine one one meters per second:
3040 kt ≅ 1563.911 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times three thousand forty knots.
