About These Units
Mile per Hour per Second (mph/s)
Miles per hour per second (mph/s) is commonly used for vehicle acceleration. A car going 0-60 mph in 6 seconds accelerates at 10 mph/s (4.47 m/s² or 0.46g). Sports cars achieve 15-20 mph/s. One mph/s equals 1.467 ft/s².
Inch per Second Squared (in/s²)
Inches per second squared (in/s²) equals 0.0254 m/s². Used for small-scale acceleration measurements in mechanical systems, robotics, and vibration analysis. Earth's gravity equals 386.09 in/s². One ft/s² equals 12 in/s².
