Method and calculation
Convert acceleration through the metre per second squared: value × source factor / target factor. Factors relative to metre per second squared: m/s² = 1; cm/s² = 0.01; ft/s² = 0.3048; standard g = 9.80665.
Inputs and settings
Acceleration Converter accepts Value (minimum 0); From unit (m/s², cm/s², ft/s², standard g); To unit (m/s², cm/s², ft/s², standard g).
Worked example
Acceleration Converter example — Value: 1; From unit: "m/s²"; To unit: "cm/s²". Computed output: { "value": 100, "unit": "cm/s²", "baseValue": 1, "baseUnit": "metre per second squared" }
Output and limitations
Acceleration measures how quickly velocity changes. Standard g is fixed at 9.80665 metres per second squared and serves as a reference, not a local gravity measurement. Converting acceleration does not by itself determine distance travelled without time and initial velocity.
