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 523 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 523 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

523 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 523 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 269.05444444421 m/s

The final result is:

523 kt → 269.05444444421 m/s

We conclude that 523 knots is equivalent to 269.05444444421 meters per second:

523 knots = 269.05444444421 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 0.0037167198708265 × 523 knots.

Another way is saying that 523 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0037167198708265 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 twenty-three knots is approximately two hundred sixty-nine point zero five four meters per second:

523 kt ≅ 269.054 m/s

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