What does mile per square second (mi/s^2) measure?

It measures acceleration as the change in velocity expressed in miles per second for each second elapsed.

Why convert from mi/s^2 to ft/s^2?

Converting to foot per square second allows expressing acceleration in finer imperial unit scales useful for detailed analysis and reporting.

What is the conversion factor from mile/s^2 to foot/s^2?

1 mile per square second is equal to 5280 feet per square second.
