Convert Knots to Centimeters Per Second
Enter the speed in knots below to get the value converted to centimeters per second.
How to Convert Knots to Centimeters Per Second
To convert a knot measurement to a centimeter per second measurement, multiply the speed by the conversion ratio. One knot is equal to 51.444444 centimeters per second, so use this simple formula to convert:
The speed in centimeters per second is equal to the knots multiplied by 51.444444.
Knots and centimeters per second are both units used to measure speed. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
Knots
One knot is equal to a speed of one nautical mile per hour, or one minute of latitude per hour.
Knots can be abbreviated as kn, and are also sometimes abbreviated as kt. For example, 1 knot can be written as 1 kn or 1 kt.
Centimeters Per Second
Centimeters per second are a measurement of speed expressing the distance travelled in centimeters in one second.
The centimeter per second, or centimetre per second, is an SI unit of speed in the metric system. Centimeters per second can be abbreviated as cm/s, and are also sometimes abbreviated as cm/sec. For example, 1 centimeter per second can be written as 1 cm/s or 1 cm/sec.
Centimeters per second can be expressed using the formula:
vm/s = dcmtsec
The velocity in centimeters per second is equal to the distance in centimeters divided by time in seconds.
