What is one dekameter per square second equivalent to in meters per square second?

One dekameter per square second equals ten meters per square second (1 dam/s² = 10 m/s²).

Why use attometer per square second units in measurements?

Attometer per square second units express extremely small accelerations typical in precision metrology and fundamental physics experiments.

How large is the conversion factor from dekameter/square second to attometer/square second?

The conversion factor is very large: 1 dam/s² equals 10^19 am/s².
