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 462 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 462 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

462 kt → V(m/s)

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

V(m/s) = 462 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V(m/s) = 237.67333333313 m/s

The final result is:

462 kt → 237.67333333313 m/s

We conclude that 462 knots is equivalent to 237.67333333313 meters per second:

462 knots = 237.67333333313 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 0.0042074556113469 × 462 knots.

Another way is saying that 462 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0042074556113469 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-two knots is approximately two hundred thirty-seven point six seven three meters per second:

462 kt ≅ 237.673 m/s

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