# 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.
