What does centimeter per square second measure?

It measures acceleration as the change in velocity by one centimeter per second every second, commonly used in metric systems.

Why convert acceleration from cm/s² to ft/s²?

The conversion is useful to represent acceleration data in imperial units used in fields like vehicle testing and engineering.

How is one foot per square second defined?

It represents acceleration as the change in velocity by one foot per second each second, used primarily in imperial measurement systems.
