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 963 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 963 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

963 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 963 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 495.40999999957 m/s

The final result is:

963 kt → 495.40999999957 m/s

We conclude that 963 knots is equivalent to 495.40999999957 meters per second:

963 knots = 495.40999999957 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 0.0020185301063783 × 963 knots.

Another way is saying that 963 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0020185301063783 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-three knots is approximately four hundred ninety-five point four one meters per second:

963 kt ≅ 495.41 m/s

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