Accuracy and rounding
Use acceleration units for change in speed over time. Standard gravity g is an acceleration, not a mass unit.
Acceleration factors use the SI meter and second. Standard gravity is exactly 9.80665 m/s² by convention.
For vehicle figures, two decimals are usually readable. For sensors or engineering, follow the instrument resolution in m/s².
How to convert ft/s² to m/s²
- Type the ft/s² value in the calculator.
- Keep ft/s² selected as the from unit and m/s² selected as the to unit.

Common questions
How do I convert ft/s² to m/s²?
Enter the ft/s² value in the converter, or multiply by the factor shown in the formula. 1 ft/s² = 0.3048 m/s².
What should I watch out for?
The symbol g here means standard gravitational acceleration, not grams.
Where does this acceleration conversion come from?
Acceleration factors from NIST conversion tables, including standard gravity at exactly 9.80665 m/s². ConverterBase uses stable definitions and fixed conversion factors, not live or rounded market data.
