Unit Converters
Acceleration Converter
Acceleration Converter switches an acceleration value between metres per second squared, feet per second squared, standard gravity (g) and Gal (used in geophysics).
Useful for physics problems, vehicle performance figures and geophysical measurements.
How to Use the Acceleration Converter
- Open the Acceleration Converter tool.
- Enter the acceleration value you want to convert.
- Choose the unit you're converting from.
- Choose the unit you want to convert to.
- Read the converted result, updated instantly.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does '1 g' mean?
1 g is standard Earth gravity, approximately 9.80665 m/s². It's commonly used to express how many times stronger an acceleration is compared to gravity.
What is a Gal used for?
The Gal (named after Galileo) is a unit of acceleration used mainly in geophysics and gravimetry, equal to 1 centimetre per second squared.
Is this tool accurate enough for physics homework?
Yes, it uses standard, widely-accepted conversion factors.
