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 4042 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 4042 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

4042 kt → V(m/s)

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

V(m/s) = 4042 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V(m/s) = 2079.3844444426 m/s

The final result is:

4042 kt → 2079.3844444426 m/s

We conclude that 4042 knots is equivalent to 2079.3844444426 meters per second:

4042 knots = 2079.3844444426 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 0.0004809115518165 × 4042 knots.

Another way is saying that 4042 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0004809115518165 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that four thousand forty-two knots is approximately two thousand seventy-nine point three eight four meters per second:

4042 kt ≅ 2079.384 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero times four thousand forty-two knots.
