What does one hectometer per square second represent?

One hectometer per square second (hm/s²) is an acceleration unit representing a change in velocity by one hectometer (100 metres) every second, expressed per second squared.

How is yard per square second defined?

A yard per square second (yd/s²) is an imperial acceleration unit denoting a velocity change of one yard per second every second.

Why convert acceleration from hm/s² to yd/s²?

Converting from hm/s² to yd/s² helps translate metric large-distance accelerations into imperial units for use in US customary engineering and ballistics contexts.
