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 8420 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 8420 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
8420 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 8420 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 4331.6222222185 m/s
The final result is:
8420 kt → 4331.6222222185 m/s
We conclude that 8420 knots is equivalent to 4331.6222222185 meters per second:
8420 knots = 4331.6222222185 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 0.0002308603910264 × 8420 knots.
Another way is saying that 8420 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0002308603910264 meters per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eight thousand four hundred twenty knots is approximately four thousand three hundred thirty-one point six two two meters per second:
8420 kt ≅ 4331.622 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero times eight thousand four hundred twenty knots.
