Unit definitions

Feet per square second

A foot is a unit of length equal to $0.304\,8$ meters. One foot is equal to $12$ inches. Feet per square second represents change in velocity of an object in feet per second, per second.

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 Feet per square second to Meter per square second

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{ms⁻²}} = \text{Acceleration}_{\text{ft/s²}} \cdot 0.3048$$

Examples

Example 1

Convert $45.0\ \text{ft/s²}$ to $\text{ms⁻²}$.

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{ms⁻²}} = 45.0 \cdot 0.3048$$

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{ms⁻²}} = 13.716$$

$$\therefore \ 45.0\ \text{ft/s²} = 13.716 \ \text{ms⁻²}$$

Example 2

Convert $60.0\ \text{ft/s²}$ to $\text{ms⁻²}$.

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{ms⁻²}} = 60.0 \cdot 0.3048$$

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{ms⁻²}} = 18.288$$

$$\therefore \ 60.0\ \text{ft/s²} = 18.288 \ \text{ms⁻²}$$

Example 3

Convert $115.0\ \text{ft/s²}$ to $\text{ms⁻²}$.

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{ms⁻²}} = 115.0 \cdot 0.3048$$

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{ms⁻²}} = 35.052$$

$$\therefore \ 115.0\ \text{ft/s²} = 35.052 \ \text{ms⁻²}$$

Example 4

Convert $145.0\ \text{ft/s²}$ to $\text{ms⁻²}$.

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{ms⁻²}} = 145.0 \cdot 0.3048$$

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{ms⁻²}} = 44.196$$

$$\therefore \ 145.0\ \text{ft/s²} = 44.196 \ \text{ms⁻²}$$

Example 5

Convert $175.0\ \text{ft/s²}$ to $\text{ms⁻²}$.

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{ms⁻²}} = 175.0 \cdot 0.3048$$

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{ms⁻²}} = 53.34$$

$$\therefore \ 175.0\ \text{ft/s²} = 53.34 \ \text{ms⁻²}$$
