To convert the acceleration from meters per second squared (m/s²) to centimeters per second squared (cm/s²), you can use the following conversion factor:
1 m = 100 cm
So, to convert from m/s² to cm/s², you need to square this factor because acceleration is in units of length per time squared:
(1 m/s²) = (100 cm/s²)
Therefore, 1 m/s² is equal to 100 cm/s².
