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 8991 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 8991 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
8991 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 8991 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 4625.369999996 m/s
The final result is:
8991 kt → 4625.369999996 m/s
We conclude that 8991 knots is equivalent to 4625.369999996 meters per second:
8991 knots = 4625.369999996 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 0.00021619892030278 × 8991 knots.
Another way is saying that 8991 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00021619892030278 meters per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eight thousand nine hundred ninety-one knots is approximately four thousand six hundred twenty-five point three seven meters per second:
8991 kt ≅ 4625.37 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero times eight thousand nine hundred ninety-one knots.
