What does inch per square second measure?

It measures acceleration as the change in velocity of one inch per second for every second.

Why convert from inch/s^2 to mile/s^2?

To translate acceleration values into mile-based scales useful for large-scale transport or aerospace calculations.

Is this conversion applicable for metric unit calculations?

No, this conversion is primarily for imperial unit systems; metric conversions use meters per second squared.
