Meters Per Second to Knots Converter
How to convert meters per second to knots
knots = meters per second × 1.94384449
To convert meters per second to knots, multiply the number of meters per second by 1.94384449.
1 m/s = 1.94384449 kn
Examples
- 10 m/s × 1.94384449 = 19.4384449 kn
- 1 m/s × 1.94384449 = 1.94384449 kn
Good to know
One knot is about 0.514 m/s, so halving the knots gives a close estimate in meters per second.
