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 9701 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 9701 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

9701 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 9701 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 4990.6255555512 m/s

The final result is:

9701 kt → 4990.6255555512 m/s

We conclude that 9701 knots is equivalent to 4990.6255555512 meters per second:

9701 knots = 4990.6255555512 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 0.00020037568214022 × 9701 knots.

Another way is saying that 9701 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00020037568214022 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that nine thousand seven hundred one knots is approximately four thousand nine hundred ninety point six two six meters per second:

9701 kt ≅ 4990.626 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero times nine thousand seven hundred one knots.
