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 950 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 950 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

950 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 950 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 488.7222222218 m/s

The final result is:

950 kt → 488.7222222218 m/s

We conclude that 950 knots is equivalent to 488.7222222218 meters per second:

950 knots = 488.7222222218 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 0.0020461520973077 × 950 knots.

Another way is saying that 950 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0020461520973077 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 fifty knots is approximately four hundred eighty-eight point seven two two meters per second:

950 kt ≅ 488.722 m/s

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