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 988 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 988 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

988 m/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 988 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 1920.518358533 kt

The final result is:

988 m/s → 1920.518358533 kt

We conclude that 988 meters per second is equivalent to 1920.518358533 knots:

988 meters per second = 1920.518358533 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00052069275753441 × 988 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 988 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00052069275753441 knots.

Approximate result

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

988 m/s ≅ 1920.518 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero one times nine hundred eighty-eight meters per second.
