Convert Meters per second squared to Feet per second squared

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

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

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