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 8500 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 8500 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
8500 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 8500 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 4372.777777774 m/s
The final result is:
8500 kt → 4372.777777774 m/s
We conclude that 8500 knots is equivalent to 4372.777777774 meters per second:
8500 knots = 4372.777777774 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 0.00022868758734615 × 8500 knots.
Another way is saying that 8500 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00022868758734615 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 five hundred knots is approximately four thousand three hundred seventy-two point seven seven eight meters per second:
8500 kt ≅ 4372.778 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero times eight thousand five hundred knots.
