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 5500 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 5500 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
5500 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 5500 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 2829.444444442 m/s
The final result is:
5500 kt → 2829.444444442 m/s
We conclude that 5500 knots is equivalent to 2829.444444442 meters per second:
5500 knots = 2829.444444442 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 0.00035342627135314 × 5500 knots.
Another way is saying that 5500 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00035342627135314 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 five hundred knots is approximately two thousand eight hundred twenty-nine point four four four meters per second:
5500 kt ≅ 2829.444 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero times five thousand five hundred knots.
