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 4242 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 4242 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
4242 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 4242 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 2182.2733333314 m/s
The final result is:
4242 kt → 2182.2733333314 m/s
We conclude that 4242 knots is equivalent to 2182.2733333314 meters per second:
4242 knots = 2182.2733333314 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 0.00045823773984967 × 4242 knots.
Another way is saying that 4242 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00045823773984967 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 two hundred forty-two knots is approximately two thousand one hundred eighty-two point two seven three meters per second:
4242 kt ≅ 2182.273 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero times four thousand two hundred forty-two knots.
