972.1 knots in meters per second

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 972.1 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 972.1 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

972.1 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 972.1 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 500.09144444401 m/s

The final result is:

972.1 kt → 500.09144444401 m/s

We conclude that 972.1 knots is equivalent to 500.09144444401 meters per second:

972.1 knots = 500.09144444401 meters per second

Alternative conversion
