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 991 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 991 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
991 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 991 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 509.814444444 m/s
The final result is:
991 kt → 509.814444444 m/s
We conclude that 991 knots is equivalent to 509.814444444 meters per second:
991 knots = 509.814444444 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 0.0019614979742102 × 991 knots.
Another way is saying that 991 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0019614979742102 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 ninety-one knots is approximately five hundred nine point eight one four meters per second:
991 kt ≅ 509.814 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times nine hundred ninety-one knots.
