About the units
- Meter per second squared
- The SI unit of acceleration: a gain in speed of one meter per second during each second.
- Foot per second squared
- A gain in speed of one foot per second each second, exactly 0.3048 m/s². It is used in US engineering.
Limits and caveats
- Results are rounded for display and computed with the browser's floating point precision (about 15 significant digits).
- Both unit factors are exact by their official definitions.
Questions about this tool
How many feet per second squared are in one meter per second squared?
1 m/s² = 3.28084 ft/s² exactly.
How do I convert meters per second squared to feet per second squared?
Use ft/s² = m/s² × 3.280839895. For example, 25 m/s² = 82.021 ft/s².
How many meters per second squared are in one foot per second squared?
1 ft/s² = 0.3048 m/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.
