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 5950 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 5950 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

5950 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 5950 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 3060.9444444418 m/s

The final result is:

5950 kt → 3060.9444444418 m/s

We conclude that 5950 knots is equivalent to 3060.9444444418 meters per second:

5950 knots = 3060.9444444418 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 0.00032669655335164 × 5950 knots.

Another way is saying that 5950 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00032669655335164 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 nine hundred fifty knots is approximately three thousand sixty point nine four four meters per second:

5950 kt ≅ 3060.944 m/s

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