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 472 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 472 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
472 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 472 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 242.81777777757 m/s
The final result is:
472 kt → 242.81777777757 m/s
We conclude that 472 knots is equivalent to 242.81777777757 meters per second:
472 knots = 242.81777777757 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 0.004118314602632 × 472 knots.
Another way is saying that 472 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.004118314602632 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-two knots is approximately two hundred forty-two point eight one eight meters per second:
472 kt ≅ 242.818 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero four times four hundred seventy-two knots.
