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 968 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 968 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
968 kt → V(m/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:
V(m/s) = 968 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s
V(m/s) = 497.98222222179 m/s
The final result is:
968 kt → 497.98222222179 m/s
We conclude that 968 knots is equivalent to 497.98222222179 meters per second:
968 knots = 497.98222222179 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 0.0020081038145065 × 968 knots.
Another way is saying that 968 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0020081038145065 meters per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that nine hundred sixty-eight knots is approximately four hundred ninety-seven point nine eight two meters per second:
968 kt ≅ 497.982 m/s
An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times nine hundred sixty-eight knots.
