Acceleration converters
Acceleration is the rate of change of speed over time. Choose an exact direction below, or open the universal converter for all compatible units.
Example acceleration conversions
Start with a calculated reference value, then open the tool to enter your own measurement. Results marked ≈ are rounded for display.
- m/s² to ft/s²1 m/s² ≈ 3.280839895 ft/s²
Understanding acceleration
Acceleration is not speed
Acceleration is the rate at which speed changes over time. Meters per second squared and feet per second squared are different from speed units such as meters per second.
How to verify a conversion
Use the exact international foot definition of 0.3048 meter when comparing ft/s² with m/s².
Source definitions: NIST Guide to the SI. See our conversion methodology for calculation and rounding details.
Accurate calculations, no guesswork
Every converter uses consistent unit definitions and returns an interactive result you can verify. For multiple measurements, use the batch converter.
