Conversion formula

The conversion factor from meters per second to knots is 1.9438444924423, which means that 1 meter per second is equal to 1.9438444924423 knots:

1 m/s = 1.9438444924423 kt

To convert 686 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 686 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from meters per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 m/s → 1.9438444924423 kt

686 m/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 686 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 1333.4773218154 kt

The final result is:

686 m/s → 1333.4773218154 kt

We conclude that 686 meters per second is equivalent to 1333.4773218154 knots:

686 meters per second = 1333.4773218154 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00074991901522449 × 686 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 686 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00074991901522449 knots.

Approximate result

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

686 m/s ≅ 1333.477 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero one times six hundred eighty-six meters per second.
