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 949 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 949 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
949 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 949 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 488.20777777736 m/s
The final result is:
949 kt → 488.20777777736 m/s
We conclude that 949 knots is equivalent to 488.20777777736 meters per second:
949 knots = 488.20777777736 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 0.0020483082112142 × 949 knots.
Another way is saying that 949 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0020483082112142 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-nine knots is approximately four hundred eighty-eight point two zero eight meters per second:
949 kt ≅ 488.208 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times nine hundred forty-nine knots.
