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 511 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 511 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

511 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 511 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 262.88111111088 m/s

The final result is:

511 kt → 262.88111111088 m/s

We conclude that 511 knots is equivalent to 262.88111111088 meters per second:

511 knots = 262.88111111088 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 0.0038040009636835 × 511 knots.

Another way is saying that 511 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0038040009636835 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 eleven knots is approximately two hundred sixty-two point eight eight one meters per second:

511 kt ≅ 262.881 m/s

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