How to Convert Metre per second to KnotKnot

1 m/s = 1.943845249221964 knot
1 knot = 0.51444424416 m/s

Example: convert 75 m/s to knot:
75 m/s = 75 x 1.943845249221964 = 145.7883936916473 knot

Metre per second

Definition: Metre per second (m/s) is the SI derived unit of speed or velocity, expressing the number of metres travelled in one second. It is a fundamental unit in physics and engineering.

History/origin: The metre per second is derived from the base SI units of length (metre) and time (second). Its adoption is linked to the standardization of units during the French Revolution, leading to the establishment of the metric system.

Current use: M/s is used extensively in physics, engineering, and everyday life for measuring speeds of objects, such as vehicles, projectiles, and wind. It is also used in scientific calculations involving motion.

Knot

Definition: A knot is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour, where a nautical mile is approximately 1.15 statute miles (1.852 kilometers). It is primarily used in maritime and aviation contexts.

History/origin: The term 'knot' originated from the practice of sailors measuring the speed of a ship by dropping a log attached to a rope with knots tied at regular intervals into the water. The number of knots that passed over the stern of the ship in a fixed amount of time indicated the ship's speed.

Current use: Knots are used for navigation by ships and aircraft. It remains the standard unit of speed in maritime and aviation, especially for measuring wind speed, currents, and the speed of vessels at sea or in the air.
