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 389 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 389 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
389 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 389 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 200.11888888872 m/s
The final result is:
389 kt → 200.11888888872 m/s
We conclude that 389 knots is equivalent to 200.11888888872 meters per second:
389 knots = 200.11888888872 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 0.0049970295435534 × 389 knots.
Another way is saying that 389 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0049970295435534 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-nine knots is approximately two hundred point one one nine meters per second:
389 kt ≅ 200.119 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero five times three hundred eighty-nine knots.
