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 5730 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 5730 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

5730 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 5730 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 2947.7666666641 m/s

The final result is:

5730 kt → 2947.7666666641 m/s

We conclude that 5730 knots is equivalent to 2947.7666666641 meters per second:

5730 knots = 2947.7666666641 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 0.00033923987651698 × 5730 knots.

Another way is saying that 5730 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00033923987651698 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 seven hundred thirty knots is approximately two thousand nine hundred forty-seven point seven six seven meters per second:

5730 kt ≅ 2947.767 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero times five thousand seven hundred thirty knots.
