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 510 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 510 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

510 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 510 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 262.36666666644 m/s

The final result is:

510 kt → 262.36666666644 m/s

We conclude that 510 knots is equivalent to 262.36666666644 meters per second:

510 knots = 262.36666666644 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 0.0038114597891025 × 510 knots.

Another way is saying that 510 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0038114597891025 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 ten knots is approximately two hundred sixty-two point three six seven meters per second:

510 kt ≅ 262.367 m/s

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