What does 1 kilometer per square second represent?

It represents an acceleration of one kilometre per second change in velocity every second, equivalent to 1000 metres per second squared.

Why convert km/s² to fm/s²?

To express acceleration values in much smaller units useful in subatomic and nuclear physics where femtometre-scale measurements are standard.

Is this conversion useful for everyday acceleration measurements?

No, due to the vast difference in scale, this conversion is specifically beneficial for theoretical or highly specialized nuclear-scale scenarios.
