Convert Feet per second squared to Meters per second squared

Feet per second squared → Meters per second squared
ft/s² × 0.3048 = m/s² m/s² × 3.28084 = ft/s²

To convert feet per second squared (ft/s²) to meters per second squared (m/s²), multiply the feet per second squared value by 0.3048. 1 ft/s² = 0.3048 m/s², and 1 m/s² = 3.28084 ft/s². The conversion is a linear scaling with no offset, so the same factor applies to any value.

Going the other way? Convert m/s² to ft/s².
