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 659 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 659 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
659 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 659 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 339.0188888886 m/s
The final result is:
659 kt → 339.0188888886 m/s
We conclude that 659 knots is equivalent to 339.0188888886 meters per second:
659 knots = 339.0188888886 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 0.0029496881524162 × 659 knots.
Another way is saying that 659 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0029496881524162 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 fifty-nine knots is approximately three hundred thirty-nine point zero one nine meters per second:
659 kt ≅ 339.019 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero three times six hundred fifty-nine knots.
