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 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 490 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 m/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 490 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 952.48380129672 kt

The final result is:

490 m/s → 952.48380129672 kt

We conclude that 490 meters per second is equivalent to 952.48380129672 knots:

490 meters per second = 952.48380129672 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0010498866213143 × 490 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 490 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0010498866213143 knots.

Approximate result

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

490 m/s ≅ 952.484 kt

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