500 kn to meter per second conversion result above is displayed in three different forms: as a decimal (which could be rounded), in scientific notation (scientific form, standard index form or standard form in the United Kingdom) and as a fraction (exact result). Every display form has its own advantages and in different situations particular form is more convenient than another. For example usage of scientific notation when working with big numbers is recommended due to easier reading and comprehension. Usage of fractions is recommended when more precision is needed.
If we want to calculate how many Meters per Second are 500 Knots we have to multiply 500 by 463 and divide the product by 900. So for 500 we have: (500 × 463) ÷ 900 = 231500 ÷ 900 = 257.22222222222 Meters per Second
So finally 500 kn = 257.22222222222 meter per second
