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 995 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 995 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

995 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 995 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 511.87222222178 m/s

The final result is:

995 kt → 511.87222222178 m/s

We conclude that 995 knots is equivalent to 511.87222222178 meters per second:

995 knots = 511.87222222178 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 0.0019536125552184 × 995 knots.

Another way is saying that 995 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0019536125552184 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-five knots is approximately five hundred eleven point eight seven two meters per second:

995 kt ≅ 511.872 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times nine hundred ninety-five knots.
