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 3046 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 3046 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

3046 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 3046 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1566.9977777764 m/s

The final result is:

3046 kt → 1566.9977777764 m/s

We conclude that 3046 knots is equivalent to 1566.9977777764 meters per second:

3046 knots = 1566.9977777764 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 0.00063816299817541 × 3046 knots.

Another way is saying that 3046 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00063816299817541 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-six knots is approximately one thousand five hundred sixty-six point nine nine eight meters per second:

3046 kt ≅ 1566.998 m/s

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