Convert knot to meter per second
Knot
The knot (/nɒt/) is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour, exactly 1.852 km/h (approximately 1.150 78 mph or 0.514 m/s).The ISO standard symbol for the knot is kn. The same symbol is preferred by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE); kt is also common, especially in aviation, where it is the form recommended by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The knot is a non-SI unit.The knot is used in meteorology, and in maritime and air navigation. A vessel travelling at 1 knot along a meridian travels approximately one minute of geographic latitude in one hour.
Meter per Second
The meter per second (m/s) is the SI unit of speed and velocity, defined as the distance in meters traveled in one second. It is the standard unit for expressing velocity in science, engineering, and many international contexts. One meter per second equals 3.6 kilometers per hour or approximately 2.237 miles per hour.
