Conversion formula

The conversion factor from meters per second to knots is 1.9438444924423, which means that 1 meter per second is equal to 1.9438444924423 knots:

1 m/s = 1.9438444924423 kt

To convert 490.4 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 490.4 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from meters per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 m/s → 1.9438444924423 kt

490.4 m/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 490.4 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 953.2613390937 kt

The final result is:

490.4 m/s → 953.2613390937 kt

We conclude that 490.4 meters per second is equivalent to 953.2613390937 knots:

490.4 meters per second = 953.2613390937 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0010490302700734 × 490.4 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 490.4 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0010490302700734 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that four hundred ninety point four meters per second is approximately nine hundred fifty-three point two six one knots:

490.4 m/s ≅ 953.261 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero one times four hundred ninety point four meters per second.
