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 6940 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 6940 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

6940 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 6940 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 3570.2444444414 m/s

The final result is:

6940 kt → 3570.2444444414 m/s

We conclude that 6940 knots is equivalent to 3570.2444444414 meters per second:

6940 knots = 3570.2444444414 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 0.00028009286634615 × 6940 knots.

Another way is saying that 6940 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00028009286634615 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that six thousand nine hundred forty knots is approximately three thousand five hundred seventy point two four four meters per second:

6940 kt ≅ 3570.244 m/s

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