Question

the acceleration of an object due to gravity is 32 feet per second squared. what is acceleration due to gravity in inches per second squared?
$2\frac{2}{3}$ inches per second squared
1,024 inches per second squared
$\frac{3}{8}$ inches per second squared
384 inches per second squared

Explanation:

Step1: Recall unit conversion

We know that 1 foot = 12 inches. So to convert feet per second squared to inches per second squared, we multiply the value in feet per second squared by 12.

Step2: Perform the conversion

The acceleration due to gravity is 32 feet per second squared. So we calculate \( 32\times12 \).

\( 32\times12 = 384 \)

Answer:

384 inches per second squared (the fourth option: 384 inches per second squared)
