ft/s² to m/s² formula
The calculator converts the input to the category's reference unit, then divides by the target unit's factor.
Result = input × source factor ÷ target factor
1 × (0.3048 ÷ 1) = 0.3048
Worked example: 1 Feet per second squared = 0.3048 Metres per second squared
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.

Frequently asked questions
how many m/s² is 1 ft/s²?
1 Feet per second squared = 0.3048 Metres per second squared. 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.
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.
