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?

Three eighths inches per second squared
Two and two thirds inches per second squared
384 inches per second squared
1,024 inches per second squared

Answer 1

The acceleration of an object due to gravity is 32 feet per second squared, then the acceleration due to gravity in inches per second squared is option (3): 384 inches per second squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, we know that based on the imperial and U.S. customary system of measurement, inches is a unit of length which is represented as 1/12th  of a foot or 1/36th of a yard.

Therefore, the formula for converting from feet to inches is given as

Inches = Feet * 12 ….. (i)

We are given the acceleration due to gravity = 32 feet per second squared

In order to get the value of acceleration due to gravity in inches per second squared, we will convert the given value based on the formula (i), therefore,

= [(32 feet per second squared) * 12] inches per second squared

= 384 inches per second squared

Thus, the acceleration due to gravity in inches per second squared is 384 inches per second squared.
