Reference

How acceleration conversion works

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Standard gravity is a conventional exact value and should not be confused with measured local gravitational acceleration.

Values are converted to meter per second squared first, then from that reference into the requested unit. Keeping a single documented reference reduces inconsistent pair-by-pair constants.

Accuracy note: Standard gravity is exact by convention; actual gravity varies by location and altitude.
