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 5420 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 5420 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
5420 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 5420 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 2788.2888888865 m/s
The final result is:
5420 kt → 2788.2888888865 m/s
We conclude that 5420 knots is equivalent to 2788.2888888865 meters per second:
5420 knots = 2788.2888888865 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 0.00035864289528455 × 5420 knots.
Another way is saying that 5420 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00035864289528455 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 four hundred twenty knots is approximately two thousand seven hundred eighty-eight point two eight nine meters per second:
5420 kt ≅ 2788.289 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero times five thousand four hundred twenty knots.
