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 0.5 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 0.5 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
0.5 m/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 0.5 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt
V(kt) = 0.97192224622114 kt
The final result is:
0.5 m/s → 0.97192224622114 kt
We conclude that 0.5 meters per second is equivalent to 0.97192224622114 knots:
0.5 meters per second = 0.97192224622114 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 1.028888888888 × 0.5 meters per second.
Another way is saying that 0.5 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 1.028888888888 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that zero point five meters per second is approximately zero point nine seven two knots:
0.5 m/s ≅ 0.972 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately one point zero two nine times zero point five meters per second.
