What does femtometer per square second measure?

It measures acceleration as the change of velocity over time at the scale of femtometers, a subatomic length unit equal to 10^-15 metres.

Why convert femtometer/s² to centimeter/s²?

Converting to centimeter per square second allows easier interpretation of very small accelerations using units common in lab experiments and biomechanics.

Can this converter be used outside physics?

While mainly designed for physics and biomechanics contexts, it can be helpful wherever translation between these units is needed, considering measurement scale limitations.
