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 962 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 962 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
962 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 962 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 494.89555555513 m/s
The final result is:
962 kt → 494.89555555513 m/s
We conclude that 962 knots is equivalent to 494.89555555513 meters per second:
962 knots = 494.89555555513 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 0.0020206283705221 × 962 knots.
Another way is saying that 962 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0020206283705221 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 sixty-two knots is approximately four hundred ninety-four point eight nine six meters per second:
962 kt ≅ 494.896 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times nine hundred sixty-two knots.
