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 6988 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 6988 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
6988 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 6988 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 3594.9377777747 m/s
The final result is:
6988 kt → 3594.9377777747 m/s
We conclude that 6988 knots is equivalent to 3594.9377777747 meters per second:
6988 knots = 3594.9377777747 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 0.00027816893137411 × 6988 knots.
Another way is saying that 6988 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00027816893137411 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 eighty-eight knots is approximately three thousand five hundred ninety-four point nine three eight meters per second:
6988 kt ≅ 3594.938 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero times six thousand nine hundred eighty-eight knots.
