1 knot = 1 nautical mile per hour
time = distance ÷ speed
= 140 nautical miles ÷ 20 nautical miles per hour
= 7 hours.
140 ÷ 20 = 7 hours

The speed of water flow is the current. The speed of vessels traveling over water may be measured in 'knots" (meaning nautical miles per hour).
141 nautical miles
Knots are used to measure speed (for boats, aeroplanes, wind or water/current.) One knot is one sea mile per hour. It is equal to 1.1508 statute miles (1.852 km) per hour or 1.687 ft (0.5144 m) per second. 400 miles per hour = 347.584 knots
5,143 nautical miles
Knots is for water and Miles per hour is for land
A water-going vessel, such as a boat or ship.
The distance between the above places is approximately equal to 170 nautical miles. To convert miles to nautical miles, multiply the miles by 0.86. This is point to point straight distance. The actual distance will change according to the route.
Measurement of distance under water is the same as on the surface, nautical miles which differ from statute miles used on land. A Nautical mile is 6076 feet compared to a statute mile which is 5280 feet. The nautical mile is based on the circumference of the earth at the equator and divided that distance by 360 degrees then each degree by 60 minutes. One minute is equal to one nautical mile.
Gale, aside from being a woman"s name,. is a catch all term for violent or forcible Maritime storms. Gale force winds- 35 knots and up- it varies ( Cyclonic used to be 65 Knots- nautical miles per hour here- and Upwards!) always with a nautical bent- cold Gales at Atlantic city- but not inland. Gale really refers to the strength of the wind and not any, essentially, precipitation, unlike squalls, water-spouts, etc.
Yes. One knot equals one nautical mile per hour. However this may be air speed or speed through the water as opposed to speed over the ground.
Knots refers to the speed a boat or ship is moving on the water. One nautical mile per hour is converted to 1.15077945 miles per hour.1.1508 mi/hrAlgebraic Steps / Dimensional Analysis 1 knots*1 mi/hr0.8689762419 knots=1.150779448 mi/hr
