3042 knots in meters per second

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 3042 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 3042 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

3042 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 3042 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1564.9399999986 m/s

The final result is:

3042 kt → 1564.9399999986 m/s

We conclude that 3042 knots is equivalent to 1564.9399999986 meters per second:

3042 knots = 1564.9399999986 meters per second
