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 971 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 971 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
971 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 971 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 499.52555555512 m/s
The final result is:
971 kt → 499.52555555512 m/s
We conclude that 971 knots is equivalent to 499.52555555512 meters per second:
971 knots = 499.52555555512 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 0.0020018995802701 × 971 knots.
Another way is saying that 971 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0020018995802701 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 seventy-one knots is approximately four hundred ninety-nine point five two six meters per second:
971 kt ≅ 499.526 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times nine hundred seventy-one knots.
