How to use this calculator

  1. Enter the value you want to convert.
  2. Choose the source and target units, then adjust the display precision if needed.
  3. Read the result. Select Convert to open a page for this value, or use the table below.

Definitions and assumptions

Acceleration describes a change in velocity per unit time. Factors are expressed relative to metres per second squared. Standard gravity is 9.80665 m/s²; local gravity can differ.

Frequently asked questions

Which Acceleration units are supported?

The directory lists 5 units, including symbols and availability. Choose any source unit to browse its target units.

how to convert ft/s² to m/s²?

The calculator converts the input to the category's reference unit, then divides by the target unit's factor. 1 × 0.3048 ≈ 0.3048 Metres per second squared. Use the source and target factors shown in the formula. The worked example uses the value on this page, and the table provides other common values.

Is standard gravity the same everywhere?

No. The conventional value 9.80665 m/s² defines the standard-gravity conversion. Actual local acceleration due to gravity depends on location and altitude.

Why is the displayed result rounded?

Auto mode preserves significant digits for small values; manual mode rounds to the selected decimal places. ≈ means approximate; < means below the display limit. Extreme values use × 10ⁿ. Calculations are rounded only for display.

What input range can I use?

This calculator accepts non-negative values up to 1 trillion, with up to 8 decimal places. It does not calculate signed vectors or calendar date intervals.

Why is a unit unavailable?

A conversion is unavailable when a verified unit definition or a current exchange-rate value has not been configured. The tool does not invent a coefficient.
