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 505 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 505 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

505 m/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 505 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 981.64146868335 kt

The final result is:

505 m/s → 981.64146868335 kt

We conclude that 505 meters per second is equivalent to 981.64146868335 knots:

505 meters per second = 981.64146868335 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0010187018701861 × 505 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 505 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0010187018701861 knots.

Approximate result

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

505 m/s ≅ 981.641 kt

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