Select Try the example in the form to load these values and calculate them again. This replaces the current form inputs. Compare the result with the method and worked explanation below.
The method, explained
Convert to the base unit, then divide by the target factor. Standard gravity g is defined as 9.80665 m/s². One ft/s² equals 0.3048 m/s².
1 g = 9.80665 m/s²; 1 ft/s² = 0.3048 m/s².
What to keep in mind
Only nonnegative magnitudes are accepted. Direction and time-varying acceleration are not represented.
Common questions
Is standard g exactly local gravity?
No. Local gravitational acceleration varies; g here is the defined standard value.
Does this convert speed?
No. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Use Speed Converter for speed units.
