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 489.3 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 489.3 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
489.3 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 489.3 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 251.71766666645 m/s
The final result is:
489.3 kt → 251.71766666645 m/s
We conclude that 489.3 knots is equivalent to 251.71766666645 meters per second:
489.3 knots = 251.71766666645 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 0.0039727048690829 × 489.3 knots.
Another way is saying that 489.3 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0039727048690829 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-nine point three knots is approximately two hundred fifty-one point seven one eight meters per second:
489.3 kt ≅ 251.718 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero four times four hundred eighty-nine point three knots.
