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 897 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 897 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
897 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 897 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 461.45666666627 m/s
The final result is:
897 kt → 461.45666666627 m/s
We conclude that 897 knots is equivalent to 461.45666666627 meters per second:
897 knots = 461.45666666627 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 0.0021670507162121 × 897 knots.
Another way is saying that 897 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0021670507162121 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 ninety-seven knots is approximately four hundred sixty-one point four five seven meters per second:
897 kt ≅ 461.457 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times eight hundred ninety-seven knots.
