Conversion Knots - Metres per second

kn
Conversor de Metres per second to Knots

These two units of speed, knots and metres per second, are both used non-commercially and are less likely to be found in everyday measurements and calculations. Also, they are both used for generally slower speeds such as knots which are used for ships and m/s to measure things travelling in space.

[number of] knots / 1.94384 = [number of] metres per second

When to use knots?

The unit of speed known as knots is an important measurement used in meteorology but also in the air navigation and maritime industries. A knot is equivalent to one nautical mile exactly. Its main purpose is to calculate the speed of vessels relative to the fluids in which they travel, whether that is water or air. Above is our knots to metres per second converter.

When to use m/s?

As a unit of speed used to measure slower speeds, metres per second are used less commonly in everyday situations. Metres per second are defined by the amount of distance travelled in metres, divided by the time it took in seconds. The most common industry to use m/s is in astronomy, however, sometimes m/s is still too slow so km/s is used. View our kn – m/s calculator.
