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 590 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 590 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

590 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 590 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 303.52222222196 m/s

The final result is:

590 kt → 303.52222222196 m/s

We conclude that 590 knots is equivalent to 303.52222222196 meters per second:

590 knots = 303.52222222196 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 0.0032946516821056 × 590 knots.

Another way is saying that 590 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0032946516821056 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 ninety knots is approximately three hundred three point five two two meters per second:

590 kt ≅ 303.522 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero three times five hundred ninety knots.
