Converting from Inch per Second Squared (ips²) to Meter per Second Squared (m/s²) in Acceleration

What is Inch per Second Squared (ips²)

1 inch per second squared (ips²) represents the acceleration of an object moving at a rate of one inch per second, changing its velocity by one inch per second every second.

What is Meter per Second Squared (m/s²)

1 meter per second squared (m/s²) is the acceleration required to change an object's velocity by one meter per second every second.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between inch per second squared (ips²) and meter per second squared (m/s²) can be done using the following formulas:

Acceleration in m/s²=Acceleration in ips²×0.0254

Acceleration in ips²=Acceleration in m/s²×39.37008

Examples

1. Converting 15 ips² to m/s²:

15 ips²=15×0.0254=0.381 m/s²

2. Converting 4 m/s² to ips²:

4 m/s²=4×39.37008=157.4803 ips²

3. Converting 16 ips² to m/s²:

16 ips²=16×0.0254=0.4064 m/s²

Conclusion

Use this guide to easily convert acceleration values between inch per second squared (ips²) and meter per second squared (m/s²) for various engineering and physics calculations.
