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?

\\( \frac { 3 } { 8 } \\) inches per second squared

\\( 2 \frac { 2 } { 3 } \\) inches per second squared

384 inches per second squared

1.024 inches per second squared

Explanation:

Step1: Convert feet to inches

We know that 1 foot = 12 inches.
So, if the acceleration is 32 feet per second squared, we need to multiply 32 by 12.
The formula is \(a = 32\times12\) inches per second squared.

Step2: Calculate the product

\(32\times12=(30 + 2)\times12=30\times12+2\times12\)
\(30\times12 = 360\) and \(2\times12=24\)
\(360+24 = 384\)

Answer:

C. 384 inches per second squared
