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 460 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 460 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

460 kt → V(m/s)

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

V(m/s) = 460 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V(m/s) = 236.64444444424 m/s

The final result is:

460 kt → 236.64444444424 m/s

We conclude that 460 knots is equivalent to 236.64444444424 meters per second:

460 knots = 236.64444444424 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 0.0042257488966137 × 460 knots.

Another way is saying that 460 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0042257488966137 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 sixty knots is approximately two hundred thirty-six point six four four meters per second:

460 kt ≅ 236.644 m/s

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