Knowing where Knot and Meter per Second come from makes the conversion easier to remember. Here is the context, plus a quick FAQ.
A Knot (kn) equals one nautical mile per hour and is the standard speed unit for sea and air travel.
A Meter per Second (m/s) is the SI unit of speed, used as the standard in physics and engineering.
The formula is: Meter per Second = Knot x 0.514444. Multiply any Knot value by 0.514444 to get the equivalent in Meter per Second.
1 kn = 0.514444 m/s.
1 m/s = 1.94384617178935 kn.
Knot is smaller than Meter per Second. 1 Meter per Second = 1.94384617178935 kn.
