What is a dekameter per square second?

It is a derived SI unit of acceleration representing a change in velocity with distances measured in dekameters, equal to 10 meters per second squared.

Why convert acceleration to the unit of gravity [g]?

Converting to g expresses acceleration relative to Earth's gravity, making it easier to interpret forces in physics, engineering, and safety testing.

Can this conversion be used for all locations on Earth?

This conversion assumes a standard gravity which may slightly vary depending on geographic location and altitude, so it may not be exact everywhere.
