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 5742 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 5742 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

5742 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 5742 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 2953.9399999974 m/s

The final result is:

5742 kt → 2953.9399999974 m/s

We conclude that 5742 knots is equivalent to 2953.9399999974 meters per second:

5742 knots = 2953.9399999974 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 0.0003385309112578 × 5742 knots.

Another way is saying that 5742 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0003385309112578 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 forty-two knots is approximately two thousand nine hundred fifty-three point nine four meters per second:

5742 kt ≅ 2953.94 m/s

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