Question

The acceleration of and object due to gravity is 32 feet per second squared. What is acceleration due to gravity in inches per second squared
A.3/8 inches per second squared
B.2 2/3 inchesper second squared
C.384 inches per second squared
D.1,024inches per second squared

Answer 1

Use the factor label method (or whatever your teacher calls it) to make the conversion. Use the fact that there are 12 inches in 1 foot to do this. $\frac{32ft}{s ^{2} } * \frac{12in}{1ft}$.  The feet labels cancel each other out leaving you with in per second squared.  And when you multiply straight across the top you get 384 in per second squared, choice C
