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 852 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 852 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

852 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 852 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 438.30666666629 m/s

The final result is:

852 kt → 438.30666666629 m/s

We conclude that 852 knots is equivalent to 438.30666666629 meters per second:

852 knots = 438.30666666629 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 0.0022815076202374 × 852 knots.

Another way is saying that 852 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0022815076202374 meters per second.

Approximate result

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

852 kt ≅ 438.307 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times eight hundred fifty-two knots.
