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 801 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 801 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

801 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 801 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 412.06999999964 m/s

The final result is:

801 kt → 412.06999999964 m/s

We conclude that 801 knots is equivalent to 412.06999999964 meters per second:

801 knots = 412.06999999964 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 0.0024267721503649 × 801 knots.

Another way is saying that 801 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0024267721503649 meters per second.

Approximate result

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

801 kt ≅ 412.07 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times eight hundred one knots.
