Questions about this tool
How many meters per second squared are in one foot per second squared?
1 ft/s² = 0.3048 m/s² exactly.
How do I convert feet per second squared to meters per second squared?
Use m/s² = ft/s² × 0.3048. For example, 25 ft/s² = 7.62 m/s².
How many feet per second squared are in one meter per second squared?
1 m/s² = 3.28084 ft/s².
How many m/s² is 1 g?
1 g is exactly 9.80665 m/s², a fixed standard value. Real gravity varies slightly with latitude and altitude, from about 9.78 at the equator to 9.83 at the poles.
How do I get a car's acceleration from its 0 to 100 km/h time?
Divide 100 by the seconds to get km/h per second, then convert to m/s². For example 10 seconds means 10 km/h per second, about 2.78 m/s² or 0.283 g on average.
