What is the relationship between decimeter/square second and millimeter/square second?

One decimeter per square second equals 100 millimeters per square second.

When should I use millimeter/square second instead of decimeter/square second?

Millimeter per square second units are preferred for very small accelerations or situations requiring fine resolution.

Can I use this converter for non-metric unit conversions?

No, this tool specifically converts between metric acceleration units based on decimeter and millimeter scales.
