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 997 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 997 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
997 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 997 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 512.90111111067 m/s
The final result is:
997 kt → 512.90111111067 m/s
We conclude that 997 knots is equivalent to 512.90111111067 meters per second:
997 knots = 512.90111111067 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 0.0019496935731618 × 997 knots.
Another way is saying that 997 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0019496935731618 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-seven knots is approximately five hundred twelve point nine zero one meters per second:
997 kt ≅ 512.901 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times nine hundred ninety-seven knots.
