Converting from Mile per Hour per Second (mph/s) to Meter per Second Squared (m/s²) in Acceleration

What is Mile per Hour per Second (mph/s)

Mile per Hour per Second (mph/s) is a unit of acceleration that describes how quickly an object's velocity changes over time. This unit is commonly used in the imperial system to measure acceleration.

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). It represents the rate at which an object's velocity changes with respect to time in meters per second.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from mph/s to m/s², you can use the formula:

Acceleration in m/s²=Acceleration in mph/s×0.44704

To convert from m/s² to mph/s, the formula is:

Acceleration in mph/s=Acceleration in m/s²×2.236936

Examples

1. Converting 3 mph/s to m/s²:

3×0.44704=1.34112 m/s²

2. Converting 12 m/s² to mph/s:

12×2.236936=26.84324 mph/s

3. Converting 5 mph/s to m/s²:

5×0.44704=2.2352 m/s²

Conclusion

Use these conversion formulas to easily switch between Mile per Hour per Second (mph/s) and Meter per Second Squared (m/s²) in acceleration calculations.
