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 6997 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 6997 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

6997 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 6997 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 3599.5677777747 m/s

The final result is:

6997 kt → 3599.5677777747 m/s

We conclude that 6997 knots is equivalent to 3599.5677777747 meters per second:

6997 knots = 3599.5677777747 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 0.00027781113226272 × 6997 knots.

Another way is saying that 6997 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00027781113226272 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 ninety-seven knots is approximately three thousand five hundred ninety-nine point five six eight meters per second:

6997 kt ≅ 3599.568 m/s

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