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 5170 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 5170 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
5170 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 5170 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 2659.6777777755 m/s
The final result is:
5170 kt → 2659.6777777755 m/s
We conclude that 5170 knots is equivalent to 2659.6777777755 meters per second:
5170 knots = 2659.6777777755 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 0.00037598539505653 × 5170 knots.
Another way is saying that 5170 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00037598539505653 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 one hundred seventy knots is approximately two thousand six hundred fifty-nine point six seven eight meters per second:
5170 kt ≅ 2659.678 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero times five thousand one hundred seventy knots.
