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 862 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 862 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

862 kt → V(m/s)

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

V(m/s) = 862 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V(m/s) = 443.45111111073 m/s

The final result is:

862 kt → 443.45111111073 m/s

We conclude that 862 knots is equivalent to 443.45111111073 meters per second:

862 knots = 443.45111111073 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 0.0022550400144342 × 862 knots.

Another way is saying that 862 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0022550400144342 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 sixty-two knots is approximately four hundred forty-three point four five one meters per second:

862 kt ≅ 443.451 m/s

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