To convert knots to meters per second, multiply the speed in knots by 0.514444. This conversion factor accounts for the difference in the units of measurement used for speed (nautical miles per hour for knots and meters per second).
20 knots is equivalent to approximately 10.29 meters per second.
To convert knots to feet per second, you can multiply by 1.68781. Therefore, 430 knots is approximately 725 feet per second.
To convert knots to inches per second, use the conversion factor of 1 knot = 1.68781 inches per second. Multiply the speed in knots by this conversion factor to get the equivalent speed in inches per second.
a. Meter per second and d. kg meter per second are SI units because they involve the base SI units meter (m) and kilogram (kg). b. Minute per meter, c. gram per second, and e. km per second are not SI units as they do not use the base SI units.
1 meter per second is approximately 2.24 miles per hour.
