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 1288 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1288 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
1288 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 1288 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 662.60444444387 m/s
The final result is:
1288 kt → 662.60444444387 m/s
We conclude that 1288 knots is equivalent to 662.60444444387 meters per second:
1288 knots = 662.60444444387 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 0.0015091960345049 × 1288 knots.
Another way is saying that 1288 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0015091960345049 meters per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand two hundred eighty-eight knots is approximately six hundred sixty-two point six zero four meters per second:
1288 kt ≅ 662.604 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times one thousand two hundred eighty-eight knots.
