Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is acceleration and how is it measured?

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time, measured in units like meters per second squared (m/s²). It indicates how quickly an object's speed or direction changes.

How do I convert m/s² to ft/s²?

To convert meters per second squared to feet per second squared, multiply the value by 3.28084. For example, 10 m/s² = 10 × 3.28084 = 32.8084 ft/s².

What is g-force and how does it relate to acceleration?

G-force is acceleration expressed as a multiple of Earth's gravity (9.80665 m/s²). 1g equals 9.81 m/s². It's commonly used in aviation and automotive applications.

What are some real-world examples of different accelerations?

Earth's gravity: 9.81 m/s², typical car: 2-3 m/s², sports car: 4-6 m/s², Formula 1 car: 10-12 m/s², fighter jet: up to 50+ m/s². Human tolerance is typically 5-9g for short periods.

Which acceleration units are most commonly used in different fields?

Physics and engineering use m/s² (SI unit), automotive industry uses m/s² and g-force, aerospace uses g-force, seismology uses Gal (cm/s²), and construction may use ft/s² in some regions.
