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 697 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 697 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

697 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 697 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 358.56777777747 m/s

The final result is:

697 kt → 358.56777777747 m/s

We conclude that 697 knots is equivalent to 358.56777777747 meters per second:

697 knots = 358.56777777747 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 0.0027888730164165 × 697 knots.

Another way is saying that 697 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0027888730164165 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 ninety-seven knots is approximately three hundred fifty-eight point five six eight meters per second:

697 kt ≅ 358.568 m/s

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