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 3480 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 3480 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

3480 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 3480 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 1790.2666666651 m/s

The final result is:

3480 kt → 1790.2666666651 m/s

We conclude that 3480 knots is equivalent to 1790.2666666651 meters per second:

3480 knots = 1790.2666666651 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 0.00055857600357537 × 3480 knots.

Another way is saying that 3480 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00055857600357537 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 four hundred eighty knots is approximately one thousand seven hundred ninety point two six seven meters per second:

3480 kt ≅ 1790.267 m/s

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