How to Convert Knots to Meters per Second

To convert from knots (knot) to meters per second (m/s), you multiply the number of knots by 0.514444. This is because 1 knot is equal to 0.514444 meters per second.

Formula

Meters per Second = Knots × 0.514444

or

m/s = knot × 0.514444

Step-by-step process

1. Take the measurement in knots
2. Multiply that number by 0.514444
3. The result is the equivalent speed in meters per second

Examples

• 1 knot = 1 × 0.514444 = 0.514444 m/s
• 2 knots = 2 × 0.514444 = 1.028888 m/s
