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 471 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 471 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
471 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 471 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 242.30333333312 m/s
The final result is:
471 kt → 242.30333333312 m/s
We conclude that 471 knots is equivalent to 242.30333333312 meters per second:
471 knots = 242.30333333312 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 0.0041270583703658 × 471 knots.
Another way is saying that 471 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0041270583703658 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 seventy-one knots is approximately two hundred forty-two point three zero three meters per second:
471 kt ≅ 242.303 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero four times four hundred seventy-one knots.
