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 497 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 497 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

497 m/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 497 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 966.09071274382 kt

The final result is:

497 m/s → 966.09071274382 kt

We conclude that 497 meters per second is equivalent to 966.09071274382 knots:

497 meters per second = 966.09071274382 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0010350994858028 × 497 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 497 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0010350994858028 knots.

Approximate result

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

497 m/s ≅ 966.091 kt

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