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 579 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 579 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
579 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 579 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 297.86333333308 m/s
The final result is:
579 kt → 297.86333333308 m/s
We conclude that 579 knots is equivalent to 297.86333333308 meters per second:
579 knots = 297.86333333308 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 0.0033572443738209 × 579 knots.
Another way is saying that 579 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0033572443738209 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 seventy-nine knots is approximately two hundred ninety-seven point eight six three meters per second:
579 kt ≅ 297.863 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero three times five hundred seventy-nine knots.
