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 494.1 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 494.1 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

494.1 m/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 494.1 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 960.45356371573 kt

The final result is:

494.1 m/s → 960.45356371573 kt

We conclude that 494.1 meters per second is equivalent to 960.45356371573 knots:

494.1 meters per second = 960.45356371573 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0010411747509492 × 494.1 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 494.1 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0010411747509492 knots.

Approximate result

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

494.1 m/s ≅ 960.454 kt

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