Acceleration Converter

About This Tool

This Acceleration Converter is an essential tool for students, physicists, and engineers dealing with dynamics and motion. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time. The base unit for all calculations is the meter per square second (m/s²), the standard SI unit for acceleration.

This tool allows for easy conversion between the standard SI units and other important units, such as the standard gravity (g), which is crucial in aerospace and physics, and imperial units like feet per square second (ft/s²) used in some engineering disciplines. It simplifies the process of applying physics principles across different measurement systems.

Tips & Features

• The Meter per Square Second Standard: All calculations are based on the meter per square second (m/s²), which is the acceleration of an object whose velocity changes by one meter per second every second.
• Standard Gravity (g): The unit 'g' represents the nominal acceleration due to gravity on Earth at sea level, which is standardized at 9.80665 m/s². It's not just a unit but a fundamental physical constant used as a reference for acceleration in many fields, especially to measure forces on pilots and astronauts (g-force).
• Gal (Galileo): The 'Gal' is a unit of acceleration used in gravimetry. 1 Gal is equal to 1 centimeter per square second, making it a convenient unit for measuring variations in Earth's gravitational field.
