Convert knots (kn) to meters per second (m/s) with formulas, examples, and conversion tables.
To convert 1 knots to meters per second, we divide by 1.9438 because one meter per second equals exactly 1.9438 knots.
Since there are 1.9438 knots in every meter per second, we divide our value by this factor:
So 1 knots = 0.51444 meters per second.
To convert knots to meters per second, divide the value by 1.9438.
1 meter per second = 1.9438 knots
