About the acceleration converter

Convert acceleration between m/s² (SI), ft/s² (imperial), g (standard gravity), and Gal (CGS). The SI derived unit is the meter per second squared. Standard gravity (1 g = 9.80665 m/s²) is the conventional acceleration of free fall at Earth’s surface.

Frequently asked questions

  • What is 1 g in m/s²?

    Standard gravity equals exactly 9.80665 m/s².

  • How many m/s² is 1 ft/s²?

    One ft/s² equals exactly 0.3048 m/s².

  • What is a Gal?

    The Gal is the CGS unit of acceleration: 1 Gal = 0.01 m/s². It is named after Galileo and used in geodesy and gravimetry.

  • What is the SI unit of acceleration?

    The meter per second squared (m/s²).
