How to convert meters per second squared to feet per second squared
Standard gravity is exactly 9.80665 m/s². It is a conventional reference, not a claim about gravity at every location. The Gal equals one centimeter per second squared.
Use x for the value in m/s², b for the intermediate value in m/s², and y for the result in ft/s².
ft/s² = m/s² ÷ 0.3048
Worked examples
10 m/s² ≈ 32.8083989501 ft/s²
Step 1: (10 × 1) ≈ 10 m/s².
Step 2: 10 ÷ 0.3048 ≈ 32.8083989501 ft/s².20 m/s² ≈ 65.6167979003 ft/s²
Step 1: (20 × 1) ≈ 20 m/s².
Step 2: 20 ÷ 0.3048 ≈ 65.6167979003 ft/s².
Results are rounded to 12 significant digits. Converting units does not increase the precision of the original measurement. Very large or small values outside JavaScript’s finite numeric range are rejected.
About Meters per second squared
Meters per second squared (m/s²) measures acceleration under the conventions above. The base value in m/s² is (x × 1), where x is the numerical value in m/s². Factors shown here are rounded for display; calculations use the stored factor.
About Feet per second squared
Feet per second squared (ft/s²) measures acceleration under the conventions above. The base value in m/s² is (x × 0.3048), where x is the numerical value in ft/s². Factors shown here are rounded for display; calculations use the stored factor.
