What is a hectometer per square second?

It is an acceleration unit representing a velocity change of one hectometer (100 meters) per second every second, equivalent to 100 meters per second squared.

How does a foot per square second relate to meters per second squared?

One foot per square second equals 0.3048 meters per second squared, reflecting the imperial unit scale of acceleration.

Why convert from hm/s² to ft/s²?

To express acceleration measured in metric units into imperial units common in the US, aiding communication and calculations in fields like engineering and physics.
