Conversion Formula

mph/s = in/s² × 0.05681818182

About Inches per second squared

The inch per second squared (in/s²) equals exactly 0.0254 m/s², used in US customary engineering for machine tool acceleration, CNC linear stages, and vibration testing. Standard gravity is g₀ = 386.089 in/s², a constant embedded in US dynamics software (ANSYS, Nastran) configured with US customary units. High-performance linear motor stages reach 500-2000 in/s². 1 in/s² = 0.0254 m/s² ≈ 2.59 × 10⁻³ g₀.

About Miles per hour per second

The mile per hour per second (mph/s) equals exactly 0.44704 m/s², the natural acceleration unit for road vehicles in the US and UK where speed is measured in mph. A 0-60 mph time of 2.0 s (Tesla Model S Plaid) gives 30 mph/s ≈ 13.4 m/s²; a typical family car at 8.5 s gives 7.1 mph/s ≈ 3.2 m/s². Emergency braking for Amtrak trains requires at least 26 mph/s ≈ 11.6 m/s². 1 mph/s = 0.44704 m/s² (exact) ≈ 4.56 × 10⁻² g₀.
