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 4988 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 4988 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

4988 m/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 4988 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 9695.8963283021 kt

The final result is:

4988 m/s → 9695.8963283021 kt

We conclude that 4988 meters per second is equivalent to 9695.8963283021 knots:

4988 meters per second = 9695.8963283021 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00010313641628789 × 4988 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 4988 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00010313641628789 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 eighty-eight meters per second is approximately nine thousand six hundred ninety-five point eight nine six knots:

4988 m/s ≅ 9695.896 kt

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