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 642 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 642 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

642 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 642 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 330.27333333305 m/s

The final result is:

642 kt → 330.27333333305 m/s

We conclude that 642 knots is equivalent to 330.27333333305 meters per second:

642 knots = 330.27333333305 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 0.0030277951595674 × 642 knots.

Another way is saying that 642 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0030277951595674 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that six hundred forty-two knots is approximately three hundred thirty point two seven three meters per second:

642 kt ≅ 330.273 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero three times six hundred forty-two knots.
