Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to meters per second is 0.514444444444, which means that 1 knot is equal to 0.514444444444 meters per second:

1 kt = 0.514444444444 m/s

To convert 502 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 502 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to meters per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 0.514444444444 m/s

502 kt → V_(m/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:

V_(m/s) = 502 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 258.25111111089 m/s

The final result is:

502 kt → 258.25111111089 m/s

We conclude that 502 knots is equivalent to 258.25111111089 meters per second:

502 knots = 258.25111111089 meters per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter per second is equal to 0.003872200184148 × 502 knots.

Another way is saying that 502 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.003872200184148 meters per second.

Approximate result

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

502 kt ≅ 258.251 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero four times five hundred two knots.
