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 421 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 421 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
421 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 421 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 216.58111111092 m/s
The final result is:
421 kt → 216.58111111092 m/s
We conclude that 421 knots is equivalent to 216.58111111092 meters per second:
421 knots = 216.58111111092 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 0.004617207820528 × 421 knots.
Another way is saying that 421 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.004617207820528 meters per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that four hundred twenty-one knots is approximately two hundred sixteen point five eight one meters per second:
421 kt ≅ 216.581 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero five times four hundred twenty-one knots.
