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 3048 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 3048 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
3048 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 3048 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 1568.0266666653 m/s
The final result is:
3048 kt → 1568.0266666653 m/s
We conclude that 3048 knots is equivalent to 1568.0266666653 meters per second:
3048 knots = 1568.0266666653 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 0.00063774425605062 × 3048 knots.
Another way is saying that 3048 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00063774425605062 meters per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that three thousand forty-eight knots is approximately one thousand five hundred sixty-eight point zero two seven meters per second:
3048 kt ≅ 1568.027 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times three thousand forty-eight knots.
