Converting from Foot per Second Squared (fps²) to Meter per Second Squared (m/s²) in Acceleration

What is Foot per Second Squared (fps²)

Foot per Second Squared (fps²) is a unit of acceleration commonly used in the imperial system of units, where 1 fps² is equivalent to 0.3048 m/s² in the metric system.

What is Meter per Second Squared (m/s²)

Meter per Second Squared (m/s²) is the standard unit of acceleration in the International System of Units (SI), representing the rate of change of velocity over time in meters per second squared.

Conversion Formulas

To convert acceleration from fps² to m/s², you can use the following conversion formula:

Acceleration in m/s²=Acceleration in fps²×0.3048

Alternatively, to convert from m/s² to fps²:

Acceleration in fps²=Acceleration in m/s²×3.28084

Examples

1. Converting 2 fps² to m/s²:

2 fps²=2×0.3048 m/s²=0.6096 m/s²

2. Converting 7 m/s² to fps²:

7 m/s²=7×3.28084 fps²=22.96588 fps²

3. If the acceleration is 5 fps², then in m/s² it would be:

5 fps²=5×0.3048 m/s²=1.524 m/s²

Use this guidance to efficiently convert between Foot per Second Squared (fps²) and Meter per Second Squared (m/s²) in acceleration calculations.
