Decimeters per square second

$10^{1}$ of a meters per second squared is a decimeter per second squared.

Meter per square second

Meter per square second is the unit of acceleration in the International System of Units (SI). It is a derived unit (base units: meter and second).

How to convert Decimeters per square second to Meter per square second

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{ms⁻²}} = \frac{\text{Acceleration}_{\text{dm/s²}}}{{10}^{1}}$$

Examples

Example 1

Convert $20.0\ \text{dm/s²}$ to $\text{ms⁻²}$.

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{ms⁻²}} = \frac{20.0}{{10}^{1}}$$

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{ms⁻²}} = 2$$

$$\therefore \ 20.0\ \text{dm/s²} = 2 \ \text{ms⁻²}$$

Example 2

Convert $75.0\ \text{dm/s²}$ to $\text{ms⁻²}$.

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{ms⁻²}} = \frac{75.0}{{10}^{1}}$$

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{ms⁻²}} = 7.5$$

$$\therefore \ 75.0\ \text{dm/s²} = 7.5 \ \text{ms⁻²}$$

Example 3

Convert $110.0\ \text{dm/s²}$ to $\text{ms⁻²}$.

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{ms⁻²}} = \frac{110.0}{{10}^{1}}$$

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{ms⁻²}} = 11$$

$$\therefore \ 110.0\ \text{dm/s²} = 11 \ \text{ms⁻²}$$

Example 4

Convert $130.0\ \text{dm/s²}$ to $\text{ms⁻²}$.

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{ms⁻²}} = \frac{130.0}{{10}^{1}}$$

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{ms⁻²}} = 13$$

$$\therefore \ 130.0\ \text{dm/s²} = 13 \ \text{ms⁻²}$$

Example 5

Convert $160.0\ \text{dm/s²}$ to $\text{ms⁻²}$.

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{ms⁻²}} = \frac{160.0}{{10}^{1}}$$

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{ms⁻²}} = 16$$

$$\therefore \ 160.0\ \text{dm/s²} = 16 \ \text{ms⁻²}$$
