Calculation: Converting 1 Knot to Kilometer/second

This is a step by step calculation to convert 1 Knot to Kilometer/second.

Formula:

The formula to convert from Knot to Kilometer/second is:

Speed_{[Kilometer/second]} = Speed_[Knot] / 1943.8444924

Substitution:

Substitute Speed_[Knot] = 1 in the formula.

Speed_{[Kilometer/second]} = 1 / 1943.8444924

Answer:

Speed_{[Kilometer/second]} = 0.00051444444

Therefore, 1 knot is equal to 0.00051444444 kilometer/second.

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

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

Speed_{(Kilometer/second)} = Speed_(Knot) / 1943.8444924

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.

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.
