What does one hectometer per square second represent?

It is a unit of acceleration expressing a change in velocity of one hectometer (100 metres) per second every second, equivalent to 100 metres per second squared.

Why convert hectometer per square second to Acceleration of gravity [g]?

This conversion helps interpret accelerations as multiples of Earth's gravity, which is useful in physics, aerospace, and safety-related applications.

Does this tool account for local variations in Earth's gravity?

No, the conversion assumes a fixed standard gravity of exactly 9.80665 m/s² and does not include local gravitational differences.
