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 442 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 442 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

442 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 442 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 227.38444444425 m/s

The final result is:

442 kt → 227.38444444425 m/s

We conclude that 442 knots is equivalent to 227.38444444425 meters per second:

442 knots = 227.38444444425 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 0.0043978382181952 × 442 knots.

Another way is saying that 442 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0043978382181952 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 forty-two knots is approximately two hundred twenty-seven point three eight four meters per second:

442 kt ≅ 227.384 m/s

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