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 889 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 889 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

889 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 889 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 457.34111111072 m/s

The final result is:

889 kt → 457.34111111072 m/s

We conclude that 889 knots is equivalent to 457.34111111072 meters per second:

889 knots = 457.34111111072 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 0.0021865517350307 × 889 knots.

Another way is saying that 889 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0021865517350307 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 eighty-nine knots is approximately four hundred fifty-seven point three four one meters per second:

889 kt ≅ 457.341 m/s

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