Could someone please tell me how to get m/s/s out of m/s
Is Acceleration Measured the Same in Meters as in Feet?

In summary, the conversation discusses finding acceleration from velocity and the confusion around whether it is measured in ft/sec² or m/s/s. The conversation also touches on the conversion between feet and meters.

Uh, divide by "s"? 
I'm not seeing what your real question is...

Maybe s/he means how to find acceleration from velocity?

velocity over time? (v/t)

Acceleration is ft/sec² is it the same for meters even though in metric it is written as m/s/s? That is my question. Maybe I am just to lame to get this stuff. But I am confused.

This is a completely different question than you started out with!Probie said:
Do you understand that?
To answer your new question:
How many feet are there to the meter?
FAQ: Is Acceleration Measured the Same in Meters as in Feet?
What is the formula for converting m/s to m/s/s?
The formula for converting meters per second (m/s) to meters per second squared (m/s/s) is acceleration = velocity / time.
How do you convert m/s to m/s/s using the formula?
To convert m/s to m/s/s using the formula, you need to know the velocity (m/s) and the time (s). Divide the velocity by the time to get the acceleration in m/s/s.
Can you provide an example of converting m/s to m/s/s?
Yes, for example, if an object has a velocity of 10 m/s and accelerates at a constant rate for 5 seconds, the acceleration would be 10 m/s / 5 s = 2 m/s/s.
Why is it important to understand how to convert m/s to m/s/s?
Understanding how to convert m/s to m/s/s is important in many fields of science, including physics and engineering. It allows us to measure and analyze the rate at which an object's velocity changes, which is crucial in understanding and predicting motion.
Are there any other units of measurement for acceleration besides m/s/s?
Yes, there are other units of measurement for acceleration, including km/h/s, ft/s/s, and mi/h/s. However, m/s/s (or m/s^2) is the standard unit in the International System of Units (SI) and is widely used in scientific and engineering calculations.
