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 473 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 473 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

473 kt → V(m/s)

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

V(m/s) = 473 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V(m/s) = 243.33222222201 m/s

The final result is:

473 kt → 243.33222222201 m/s

We conclude that 473 knots is equivalent to 243.33222222201 meters per second:

473 knots = 243.33222222201 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 0.0041096078064319 × 473 knots.

Another way is saying that 473 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0041096078064319 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-three knots is approximately two hundred forty-three point three three two meters per second:

473 kt ≅ 243.332 m/s

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