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 721 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 721 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

721 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 721 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 370.91444444412 m/s

The final result is:

721 kt → 370.91444444412 m/s

We conclude that 721 knots is equivalent to 370.91444444412 meters per second:

721 knots = 370.91444444412 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 0.0026960395179505 × 721 knots.

Another way is saying that 721 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0026960395179505 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-one knots is approximately three hundred seventy point nine one four meters per second:

721 kt ≅ 370.914 m/s

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