Tips & Best Practices

Confirm input acceleration values are in yard/square second before converting.
Use mile-based acceleration units when working with larger scale imperial distance systems.
Be aware of unit scale differences; miles cover more distance than yards.
Cross-check important results when precision is critical due to possible rounding effects.

Limitations

Precision can be affected by rounding due to the 1760-yard-to-mile ratio.
These imperial acceleration units are less common than SI units in scientific applications.
Interoperability with SI-based datasets may require additional conversion steps.
