Applications

Convert between m/s², g-force, ft/s², Gal, mph/s, in/s², km/h/s, and knots/s. Essential for automotive engineers comparing 0-60 times, pilots calculating takeoff runs, physicists analyzing motion, and gamers comparing vehicle stats across simulators.

Conversion Reference

1 g = 9.80665 m/s² (standard gravity). 1 m/s² = 3.28084 ft/s². 1 mph/s = 0.44704 m/s². 1 in/s² = 0.0254 m/s². 1 km/h/s = 0.277778 m/s². 1 knot/s = 0.514444 m/s².

Fun Fact: The Gal (unit named after Galileo Galilei) is the cgs unit of acceleration equal to 1 cm/s² — it was historically used in geophysics to measure gravity anomalies. A milligal is still used today in gravimetry!
