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 480 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 480 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

480 kt → V(m/s)

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

V(m/s) = 480 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V(m/s) = 246.93333333312 m/s

The final result is:

480 kt → 246.93333333312 m/s

We conclude that 480 knots is equivalent to 246.93333333312 meters per second:

480 knots = 246.93333333312 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 0.0040496760259214 × 480 knots.

Another way is saying that 480 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0040496760259214 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 eighty knots is approximately two hundred forty-six point nine three three meters per second:

480 kt ≅ 246.933 m/s

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