FPS unit of Acceleration

The FPS unit of acceleration is the foot per second squared.


Conversion Factors

\(\ds \) \(\) \(\ds 1\) \(\ds \mathrm {ft \, s^{-2} }\) foot per second squared \(\quad\) FPS unit
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 30 \cdotp 48\) \(\ds \mathrm {Gal}\) gal (that is: centimetres per second squared) \(\quad\) CGS unit
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 0 \cdotp 3048\) \(\ds \mathrm {m \, s^{-2} }\) metre per second squared \(\quad\) SI unit


Symbol

$\mathrm {ft \, s^{-2} }$ or $\mathrm {ft / s^2}$

The symbol for the foot per second squared is $\mathrm {ft \, s^{-2} }$ or, less formally, $\mathrm {ft / s^2}$.


The $\LaTeX$ code for \(\mathrm {ft \, s^{-2} }\) is \mathrm {ft \, s^{-2} } .

The $\LaTeX$ code for \(\mathrm {ft / s^2}\) is \mathrm {ft / s^2} .


Also known as

The foot per second squared is also seen referred to as the foot per second per second.

This logically arises as its definition as the acceleration that causes a change in velocity of $1$ foot per second over the course of $1$ second.
