What is the formula to convert from Kilometer/second to Knot?

The formula to convert speed value from the unit of Kilometer/second to the unit of Knot is:

Speed_(Knot) = Speed_{(Kilometer/second)} × 1.9438444924 / 0.001

Kilometer/second unit in Speed

Kilometer per second (km/s) is a unit of speed representing the distance traveled in kilometers in one second. It is primarily used in scientific contexts, such as astrophysics, to describe the speed of astronomical objects.

Knot unit in Speed

A knot (kt) is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour, commonly used in maritime and aviation contexts. One knot is approximately equal to 1.852 kilometers per hour or 1.15078 miles per hour.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about "Kilometer/second ➜ Knot" Conversion

1. What is the conversion formula from Kilometer/second to Knot?

The formula to convert Kilometer/second to Knot in Speed is:

Kilometer/second * 1.9438444924 / 0.001

2. How do I convert from Kilometer/second to Knot given a value in Kilometer/second units?

To convert Speed from Kilometer/second to Knot, you can use the following formula:

Kilometer/second * 1.9438444924 / 0.001

For example, if you have a value in Kilometer/second, you substitute that value in place of Kilometer/second in the above formula, and solve the mathematical expression to get the equivalent value in Knot.
