About the Foot/Second² to Meter/Second² conversion
The conversion factor from Foot/Second² (ft/s²) to Meter/Second² (m/s²) is 0.3048, meaning 1 ft/s² = 0.3048 m/s² and inversely 1 m/s² = 3.28084 ft/s². That makes the Meter/Second² the larger of the two units in the acceleration category, where the SI base unit is the meter-per-second-squared. Every ratio here is derived from the SI/international definition rather than a rounded approximation, so results are stable across repeated conversions.
