Calculation: Converting 1 Knot (UK) to Kilometer/second

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

Formula:

The formula to convert from Knot (UK) to Kilometer/second is:

Speed_{[Kilometer/second]} = Speed_{[Knot (UK)]} / 1942.6025694

Substitution:

Substitute Speed_{[Knot (UK)]} = 1 in the formula.

Speed_{[Kilometer/second]} = 1 / 1942.6025694

Answer:

Speed_{[Kilometer/second]} = 0.00051477333

Therefore, 1 knot (uk) is equal to 0.00051477333 kilometer/second.

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

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

Speed_{(Kilometer/second)} = Speed_{(Knot (UK))} / 1942.6025694

Knot (UK) unit in Speed

The knot (UK) is a unit of speed equivalent to one nautical mile per hour, similar to the standard knot, but historically used in British maritime and aviation contexts. One knot (UK) is approximately 1.852 kilometers 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.
