convacc

Convert from acceleration units to specified acceleration units

Syntax

convertedValues = convacc(valuesToConvert,inputAccelUnits,outputAccelUnits)

Description

convertedValues = convacc(valuesToConvert,inputAccelUnits,outputAccelUnits) computes the conversion factor from specified input acceleration units to specified output acceleration units. The function then applies the conversion factor to the input to produce the output in the specified units.

Examples

Convert Accelerations

Convert three accelerations from feet per second squared to meters per second squared.

a = convacc([3 10 20],'ft/s^2','m/s^2')

a = 1×3

    0.9144    3.0480    6.0960

Input Arguments

valuesToConvert — Values to convert

floating-point array of size m-by-n

Values to convert, specified as a floating-point array of size m-by-n values. All values must have the same unit conversions from inputAccelUnits to outputAccelUnits.

Data Types: double

inputAccelUnits — Input acceleration units

'ft/s^2' | 'm/s^2' | 'km/s^2' | 'in/s^2' | 'km/h-s' | 'mph/s' | 'G''s'

Input acceleration units, specified as one of these values.

'ft/s^2'	Feet per second squared
'm/s^2'	Meters per second squared
'km/s^2'	Kilometers per second squared
'in/s^2'	Inches per second squared
'km/h-s'	Kilometers per hour per second
'mph/s'	Miles per hour per second
'G''s'	G-force (G's) acceleration

Data Types: char | string

outputAccelUnits — Output acceleration units

'ft/s^2' | 'm/s^2' | 'km/s^2' | 'in/s^2' | 'km/h-s' | 'mph/s' | 'G''s'

Output acceleration units, specified as one of these values.

'ft/s^2'	Feet per second squared
'm/s^2'	Meters per second squared
'km/s^2'	Kilometers per second squared
'in/s^2'	Inches per second squared
'km/h-s'	Kilometers per hour per second
'mph/s'	Miles per hour per second
'G''s'	g-units

Data Types: char | string

Output Arguments

convertedValues — Converted values

floating-point array of size m-by-n

Converted values, returned as a floating-point array of size m-by-n.
