Feet per second squared to meters per second squared
Type a value in ft/s² to get it in m/s² instantly.
3.048m/s²
That's 3× as hard as a lift starting, while a family car pulling away is 1.02× harder. Kept up, that reaches 100 km/h in about 9.114 seconds.
Convert the other way: m/s² to ft/s²
What it means
How hard is that?
One g is the acceleration of gravity at the Earth’s surface, 9.80665 m/s² exactly.
The math
How to convert ft/s² to m/s²
To convert feet per second squared to meters per second squared, multiply by 0.3048.
Example: 10 ft/s² × 0.3048 = 3.048 m/s².
In the other direction, 1 m/s² = 3.28084 ft/s².
