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 5020 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 5020 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

5020 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 5020 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 2582.5111111089 m/s

The final result is:

5020 kt → 2582.5111111089 m/s

We conclude that 5020 knots is equivalent to 2582.5111111089 meters per second:

5020 knots = 2582.5111111089 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 0.0003872200184148 × 5020 knots.

Another way is saying that 5020 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0003872200184148 meters per second.

Approximate result

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

5020 kt ≅ 2582.511 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero times five thousand twenty knots.
