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 2999 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 2999 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
2999 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 2999 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 1542.8188888876 m/s
The final result is:
2999 kt → 1542.8188888876 m/s
We conclude that 2999 knots is equivalent to 1542.8188888876 meters per second:
2999 knots = 1542.8188888876 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 0.00064816421888706 × 2999 knots.
Another way is saying that 2999 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00064816421888706 meters per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that two thousand nine hundred ninety-nine knots is approximately one thousand five hundred forty-two point eight one nine meters per second:
2999 kt ≅ 1542.819 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times two thousand nine hundred ninety-nine knots.
