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 5970 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 5970 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
5970 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 5970 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 3071.2333333307 m/s
The final result is:
5970 kt → 3071.2333333307 m/s
We conclude that 5970 knots is equivalent to 3071.2333333307 meters per second:
5970 knots = 3071.2333333307 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 0.0003256020925364 × 5970 knots.
Another way is saying that 5970 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0003256020925364 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 seventy knots is approximately three thousand seventy-one point two three three meters per second:
5970 kt ≅ 3071.233 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero times five thousand nine hundred seventy knots.
