137 meters per second in knots

Result

The conversion result is: 137 meters per second is equivalent to 266.306695464363 knots.^[1]

Conversion in the opposite direction

The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 knot is equal to 0.00375506893755069 times 137 meters per second.

It can also be expressed as: 137 meters per second is equal to 1 / 0.00375506893755069 knots.

Approximation

An approximate numerical result would be: one hundred and thirty-seven meters per second is about two hundred and sixty-six point three one knots, or alternatively, a knot is about zero times one hundred and thirty-seven meters per second.

Units involved

This is how the units in this conversion are defined:

Meters Per Second

"Meter per second is an SI derived unit of both speed (scalar) and velocity (vector quantity which specifies both magnitude and a specific direction), defined by distance in metres divided by time in seconds.The SI unit symbols are m·s−1, m s−1, m/s, or m/s, sometimes (unofficially) abbreviated as mps. Where metres per second are several orders of magnitude too slow to be convenient, such as in astronomical measurements, velocities may be given in kilometres per second, where 1 km/s is 1000 metres per second, sometimes unofficially abbreviated as kps."

Knots

"The knot (/nɒt/) is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile (1.852 km) per hour, approximately 1.151 mph. The ISO Standard symbol for the knot is kn. The same symbol is preferred by the IEEE; kt is also common. The knot is a non-SI unit that is accepted for use with the SI. Worldwide, the knot is used in meteorology, and in maritime and air navigation—for example, a vessel travelling at 1 knot along a meridian travels approximately one minute of geographic latitude in one hour. Etymologically, the term derives from counting the number of knots in the line that unspooled from the reel of a chip log in a specific time."
