Conversion formula

The conversion factor from meters per second to knots is 1.9438444924423, which means that 1 meter per second is equal to 1.9438444924423 knots:

1 m/s = 1.9438444924423 kt

To convert 720 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 720 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from meters per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 m/s → 1.9438444924423 kt

720 m/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 720 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 1399.5680345584 kt

The final result is:

720 m/s → 1399.5680345584 kt

We conclude that 720 meters per second is equivalent to 1399.5680345584 knots:

720 meters per second = 1399.5680345584 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00071450617283889 × 720 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 720 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00071450617283889 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that seven hundred twenty meters per second is approximately one thousand three hundred ninety-nine point five six eight knots:

720 m/s ≅ 1399.568 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero one times seven hundred twenty meters per second.
