How to convert meters per second to knots

To convert meters per second to knots, multiply by 1.94384. For example, 10 m/s × 1.94384 = 19.438 knots. Going the other way, divide knots by 1.94384 to get m/s.

To convert m/s to km/h, multiply by 3.6. So 10 m/s × 3.6 = 36 km/h.

1 m/s = 1.94384 knots = 3.6 km/h = 2.23694 mph. Knots are used in aviation and maritime navigation. 1 knot = 1 nautical mile per hour = 1.852 km/h.
