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 948 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 948 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

948 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 948 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 487.69333333291 m/s

The final result is:

948 kt → 487.69333333291 m/s

We conclude that 948 knots is equivalent to 487.69333333291 meters per second:

948 knots = 487.69333333291 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 0.0020504688738843 × 948 knots.

Another way is saying that 948 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0020504688738843 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 forty-eight knots is approximately four hundred eighty-seven point six nine three meters per second:

948 kt ≅ 487.693 m/s

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