Why are conversion results often very small decimal numbers?

Because the millimeter and mile units differ greatly in magnitude, converting millimeter/square second to mile/square second yields small decimal values.

When should I use millimeter per square second versus mile per square second?

Millimeter per square second is ideal for fine-scale, low-magnitude accelerations, while mile per square second is suited for large-scale accelerations in imperial measurements.

Is this converter suitable for all acceleration conversion needs?

It is best used for converting between millimeter/s² and mile/s² in contexts where precision in respective unit scales matters; other unit conversions may require different tools.
