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 955 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 955 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

955 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 955 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 491.29444444402 m/s

The final result is:

955 kt → 491.29444444402 m/s

We conclude that 955 knots is equivalent to 491.29444444402 meters per second:

955 knots = 491.29444444402 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 0.0020354392591019 × 955 knots.

Another way is saying that 955 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0020354392591019 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-five knots is approximately four hundred ninety-one point two nine four meters per second:

955 kt ≅ 491.294 m/s

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