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 957 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 957 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

957 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 957 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 492.32333333291 m/s

The final result is:

957 kt → 492.32333333291 m/s

We conclude that 957 knots is equivalent to 492.32333333291 meters per second:

957 knots = 492.32333333291 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 0.0020311854675468 × 957 knots.

Another way is saying that 957 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0020311854675468 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-seven knots is approximately four hundred ninety-two point three two three meters per second:

957 kt ≅ 492.323 m/s

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