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 8397 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 8397 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

8397 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 8397 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 4319.7899999963 m/s

The final result is:

8397 kt → 4319.7899999963 m/s

We conclude that 8397 knots is equivalent to 4319.7899999963 meters per second:

8397 knots = 4319.7899999963 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 0.00023149273460072 × 8397 knots.

Another way is saying that 8397 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00023149273460072 meters per second.

Approximate result

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

8397 kt ≅ 4319.79 m/s

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