Knot (kn) to Meter per second (m/s) converter

Converting from Knot (kn) to Meter per second (m/s) in Speed

What is Knot (kn)

A knot (kn) is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour. It is commonly used in aviation and maritime navigation.

What is Meter per second (m/s)

Meter per second (m/s) is a unit of speed representing the distance traveled in meters in one second. It is a standard unit used in scientific and everyday contexts for speed measurements.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from knots to meters per second:

m/s=kn×0.5144444

To convert from meters per second to knots:

kn=m/s×1.943844

Examples

  1. Converting 6 knots to meters per second:

m/s=6×0.5144444=3.086667

  1. Converting 10 meters per second to knots:

kn=10×1.943844=19.43844

  1. When the speed is 11 knots, the equivalent speed in meters per second is:

m/s=11×0.5144444=5.658889

  1. When the speed is 11 meters per second, the equivalent speed in knots is:

kn=11×1.943844=21.38229
