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 538 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 538 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
538 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 538 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 276.77111111087 m/s
The final result is:
538 kt → 276.77111111087 m/s
We conclude that 538 knots is equivalent to 276.77111111087 meters per second:
538 knots = 276.77111111087 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 0.0036130938521232 × 538 knots.
Another way is saying that 538 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0036130938521232 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 thirty-eight knots is approximately two hundred seventy-six point seven seven one meters per second:
538 kt ≅ 276.771 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero four times five hundred thirty-eight knots.
