Conversion formula
The conversion factor from meters per second to knots is 1.9438444924423, which means that 1 meter per second is equal to 1.9438444924423 knots:
1 m/s = 1.9438444924423 kt
To convert 8508 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 8508 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from meters per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 m/s → 1.9438444924423 kt
8508 m/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 8508 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt
V(kt) = 16538.228941699 kt
The final result is:
8508 m/s → 16538.228941699 kt
We conclude that 8508 meters per second is equivalent to 16538.228941699 knots:
8508 meters per second = 16538.228941699 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 6.0465966671838E-5 × 8508 meters per second.
Another way is saying that 8508 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 6.0465966671838E-5 knots.
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 meters per second is approximately sixteen thousand five hundred thirty-eight point two two nine knots:
8508 m/s ≅ 16538.229 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero times eight thousand five hundred eight meters per second.
