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 9701 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 9701 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

9701 m/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 9701 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 18857.235421183 kt

The final result is:

9701 m/s → 18857.235421183 kt

We conclude that 9701 meters per second is equivalent to 18857.235421183 knots:

9701 meters per second = 18857.235421183 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 5.3030042721781E-5 × 9701 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 9701 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 5.3030042721781E-5 knots.

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 meters per second is approximately eighteen thousand eight hundred fifty-seven point two three five knots:

9701 m/s ≅ 18857.235 kt

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