Unit Converters Tool

Acceleration Converter

Convert between different units of acceleration like m/s², ft/s², and g-force.

Σ The Formula

a = Δv / Δt

Real World Examples

Standard Gravity
9.81 m/s² = 1 g
Metric to Imperial
1 m/s² ≈ 3.28 ft/s²
Sports Performance
Cars often measure 0-60 mph in seconds (mi/h/s).

# About This Calculator

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. In the International System of Units (SI), it is measured in meters per second squared (m/s²). Other common units include feet per second squared (ft/s²) and standard gravity (g).

A 'g' is a unit of acceleration equal to the acceleration due to gravity on Earth's surface. It is approximately 9.80665 m/s². This unit is frequently used in aviation, spaceflight, and automotive testing to describe the forces acting on occupants.

Converting acceleration units is crucial in physics, mechanical engineering, and vehicle dynamics. For instance, comparing the performance of a Ferrari (measured in g-force) with the specs of a cargo ship (measured in m/s²) requires accurate unit conversion.

Our converter supports major units including centimeters per second squared (Gal), feet per second squared, and various 'speed change per second' units like km/h/s and mph/s.

How To Use

  1. Enter the acceleration value.
  2. Select the "From" unit and "To" unit.
  3. Click "Convert Acceleration".

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 1 g in m/s²?+

1 g is defined as exactly 9.80665 meters per second squared.

What does 'm/s²' actually mean?+

It means 'meters per second, per second'. If an object accelerates at 5 m/s², its speed increases by 5 meters per second every single second.

How do I convert mph/s to m/s²?+

1 mph/s is approximately 0.447 m/s². You can use this converter to get the precise value for any input.
