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 4979 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 4979 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

4979 m/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 4979 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 9678.4017278701 kt

The final result is:

4979 m/s → 9678.4017278701 kt

We conclude that 4979 meters per second is equivalent to 9678.4017278701 knots:

4979 meters per second = 9678.4017278701 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00010332284483712 × 4979 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 4979 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00010332284483712 knots.

Approximate result

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

4979 m/s ≅ 9678.402 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero times four thousand nine hundred seventy-nine meters per second.
