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 428 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 428 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

428 kt → V(m/s)

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

V(m/s) = 428 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V(m/s) = 220.18222222203 m/s

The final result is:

428 kt → 220.18222222203 m/s

We conclude that 428 knots is equivalent to 220.18222222203 meters per second:

428 knots = 220.18222222203 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 0.0045416927393511 × 428 knots.

Another way is saying that 428 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0045416927393511 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-eight knots is approximately two hundred twenty point one eight two meters per second:

428 kt ≅ 220.182 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero five times four hundred twenty-eight knots.
