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 8508 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 8508 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
8508 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 8508 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 4376.8933333296 m/s
The final result is:
8508 kt → 4376.8933333296 m/s
We conclude that 8508 knots is equivalent to 4376.8933333296 meters per second:
8508 knots = 4376.8933333296 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 0.00022847255435382 × 8508 knots.
Another way is saying that 8508 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00022847255435382 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 eight knots is approximately four thousand three hundred seventy-six point eight nine three meters per second:
8508 kt ≅ 4376.893 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero times eight thousand five hundred eight knots.
