  2. Select Calculate to view the result.
  3. Check the method and assumptions below before using the result.

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.

A WORKED EXAMPLE

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.
