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 383 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 383 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

383 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 383 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 197.03222222205 m/s

The final result is:

383 kt → 197.03222222205 m/s

We conclude that 383 knots is equivalent to 197.03222222205 meters per second:

383 knots = 197.03222222205 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 0.0050753119907109 × 383 knots.

Another way is saying that 383 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0050753119907109 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that three hundred eighty-three knots is approximately one hundred ninety-seven point zero three two meters per second:

383 kt ≅ 197.032 m/s

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