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 501 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 501 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

501 m/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 501 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 973.86609071358 kt

The final result is:

501 m/s → 973.86609071358 kt

We conclude that 501 meters per second is equivalent to 973.86609071358 knots:

501 meters per second = 973.86609071358 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0010268352184511 × 501 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 501 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0010268352184511 knots.

Approximate result

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

501 m/s ≅ 973.866 kt

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