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 1,024 inches per second squared \\(2\frac{2}{3}\\) inches per second squared 384 inches per second squared

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the conversion factor

We know that 1 foot = 12 inches. So to convert feet per second squared to inches per second squared, we need to multiply the value in feet per second squared by 12 (since we are converting the unit of length from feet to inches, and the time unit remains the same, so the acceleration unit conversion is just multiplying by the length conversion factor).
The acceleration due to gravity is given as 32 feet per second squared. So we need to calculate \(32\times12\) to get the value in inches per second squared.

Step2: Perform the multiplication

\(32\times12 = 384\)

Answer:

384 inches per second squared (the option corresponding to this value)
