Conversion formula

The conversion factor from meters per second to knots is 1.9438444924423, which means that 1 meter per second is equal to 1.9438444924423 knots:

1 m/s = 1.9438444924423 kt

To convert 4.5 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 4.5 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from meters per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 m/s → 1.9438444924423 kt

4.5 m/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 4.5 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 8.7473002159903 kt

The final result is:

4.5 m/s → 8.7473002159903 kt

We conclude that 4.5 meters per second is equivalent to 8.7473002159903 knots:

4.5 meters per second = 8.7473002159903 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.11432098765422 × 4.5 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 4.5 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.11432098765422 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that four point five meters per second is approximately eight point seven four seven knots:

4.5 m/s ≅ 8.747 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point one one four times four point five meters per second.
