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 900 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 900 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
900 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 900 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 462.9999999996 m/s
The final result is:
900 kt → 462.9999999996 m/s
We conclude that 900 knots is equivalent to 462.9999999996 meters per second:
900 knots = 462.9999999996 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 0.0021598272138248 × 900 knots.
Another way is saying that 900 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0021598272138248 meters per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that nine hundred knots is approximately four hundred sixty-three meters per second:
900 kt ≅ 463 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times nine hundred knots.
