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 552 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 552 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

552 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 552 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 283.97333333309 m/s

The final result is:

552 kt → 283.97333333309 m/s

We conclude that 552 knots is equivalent to 283.97333333309 meters per second:

552 knots = 283.97333333309 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 0.0035214574138447 × 552 knots.

Another way is saying that 552 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0035214574138447 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 fifty-two knots is approximately two hundred eighty-three point nine seven three meters per second:

552 kt ≅ 283.973 m/s

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