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 270.9 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 270.9 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
270.9 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 270.9 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 139.36299999988 m/s
The final result is:
270.9 kt → 139.36299999988 m/s
We conclude that 270.9 knots is equivalent to 139.36299999988 meters per second:
270.9 knots = 139.36299999988 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 0.00717550569377 × 270.9 knots.
Another way is saying that 270.9 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00717550569377 meters per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that two hundred seventy point nine knots is approximately one hundred thirty-nine point three six three meters per second:
270.9 kt ≅ 139.363 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero seven times two hundred seventy point nine knots.
