What does micrometer per square second measure?

It measures acceleration as the rate of change in velocity by one micrometer per second every second, representing very small accelerations.

Why use acceleration of gravity [g] as a unit?

Acceleration of gravity (g) standardizes acceleration values by expressing them as multiples of Earth’s gravity, which is useful in physics and engineering.

Can this conversion handle variations in Earth's gravity?

No, the conversion assumes a fixed standard gravity value and does not account for local or altitude-related gravitational changes.
