Conversion formula

The conversion factor from meters per second to knots is 1.9438444924423, which means that 1 meter per second is equal to 1.9438444924423 knots:

1 m/s = 1.9438444924423 kt

To convert 97 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 97 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from meters per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 m/s → 1.9438444924423 kt

97 m/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 97 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 188.5529157669 kt

The final result is:

97 m/s → 188.5529157669 kt

We conclude that 97 meters per second is equivalent to 188.5529157669 knots:

97 meters per second = 188.5529157669 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0053035509736495 × 97 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 97 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0053035509736495 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that ninety-seven meters per second is approximately one hundred eighty-eight point five five three knots:

97 m/s ≅ 188.553 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero five times ninety-seven meters per second.
