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 589 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 589 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
589 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 589 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 303.00777777752 m/s
The final result is:
589 kt → 303.00777777752 m/s
We conclude that 589 knots is equivalent to 303.00777777752 meters per second:
589 knots = 303.00777777752 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 0.0033002453182382 × 589 knots.
Another way is saying that 589 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0033002453182382 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 eighty-nine knots is approximately three hundred three point zero zero eight meters per second:
589 kt ≅ 303.008 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero three times five hundred eighty-nine knots.
