Acceleration Converter
Convert acceleration among m/s², standard gravity g, ft/s², and Gal.
How to use
- Enter acceleration and choose source/target units from m/s², standard gravity g, ft/s², and Gal.
Capabilities and scope
Compare rate-of-change-of-velocity values across SI, standard-gravity, and CGS-style units.
How it works
The reference is m/s² with standard gravity g=9.80665 m/s², ft/s²=0.3048 m/s², and Gal=0.01 m/s².
Example
1 g is 9.80665 m/s², or 980.665 Gal.
Useful for
- Convert sensor readings in g to m/s²
- Translate Gal values to SI
- Compare ft/s² specifications
Before you use it
- g means standard gravity; the converter does not substitute the actual local gravitational acceleration.
