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 494.8 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 494.8 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

494.8 m/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 494.8 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 961.81425486044 kt

The final result is:

494.8 m/s → 961.81425486044 kt

We conclude that 494.8 meters per second is equivalent to 961.81425486044 knots:

494.8 meters per second = 961.81425486044 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0010397017874778 × 494.8 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 494.8 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0010397017874778 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 eight meters per second is approximately nine hundred sixty-one point eight one four knots:

494.8 m/s ≅ 961.814 kt

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