What does meter per square second measure?

Meter per square second is the SI unit for acceleration, representing how velocity changes by one meter per second every second.

When should I convert acceleration from meter/s² to inch/s²?

Conversion is useful when working with Imperial units, such as in US engineering projects or when data is required in inch–pound systems.

Is inch/square second commonly used worldwide?

No, inch/square second is primarily used in the US and legacy systems; SI units are more common globally.
