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 720 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 720 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

720 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 720 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 370.39999999968 m/s

The final result is:

720 kt → 370.39999999968 m/s

We conclude that 720 knots is equivalent to 370.39999999968 meters per second:

720 knots = 370.39999999968 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 0.002699784017281 × 720 knots.

Another way is saying that 720 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.002699784017281 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that seven hundred twenty knots is approximately three hundred seventy point four meters per second:

720 kt ≅ 370.4 m/s

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