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 520 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 520 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
520 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 520 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 267.51111111088 m/s
The final result is:
520 kt → 267.51111111088 m/s
We conclude that 520 knots is equivalent to 267.51111111088 meters per second:
520 knots = 267.51111111088 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 0.0037381624854659 × 520 knots.
Another way is saying that 520 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0037381624854659 meters per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five hundred twenty knots is approximately two hundred sixty-seven point five one one meters per second:
520 kt ≅ 267.511 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero four times five hundred twenty knots.
