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 8425 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 8425 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

8425 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 8425 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 4334.1944444407 m/s

The final result is:

8425 kt → 4334.1944444407 m/s

We conclude that 8425 knots is equivalent to 4334.1944444407 meters per second:

8425 knots = 4334.1944444407 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 0.00023072338189226 × 8425 knots.

Another way is saying that 8425 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00023072338189226 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 four hundred twenty-five knots is approximately four thousand three hundred thirty-four point one nine four meters per second:

8425 kt ≅ 4334.194 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero times eight thousand four hundred twenty-five knots.
