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 999 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 999 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

999 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 999 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 513.92999999956 m/s

The final result is:

999 kt → 513.92999999956 m/s

We conclude that 999 knots is equivalent to 513.92999999956 meters per second:

999 knots = 513.92999999956 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 0.001945790282725 × 999 knots.

Another way is saying that 999 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.001945790282725 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-nine knots is approximately five hundred thirteen point nine three meters per second:

999 kt ≅ 513.93 m/s

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