About this acceleration converter

Convert acceleration between SI, imperial and gravity-based units. Use it for vehicle performance, g-forces in aviation and amusement rides, physics problems and seismology.

Acceleration is the change of speed over time. See the speed converter, the time converter and the force converter (F = m × a).

Vehicles

Turn 0-60 mph times into mph/s or m/s² to compare acceleration figures.

Aerospace & rides

Express loads in multiples of g (standard gravity) and convert to m/s².

Physics & geoscience

Work with m/s² in equations and Gal in gravimetry and seismology.

Tips for accurate results

Standard gravity

1 g is defined as exactly 9.80665 m/s² (32.174 ft/s²). Real gravity varies slightly by location.

Quick estimate

A car doing 0-60 mph in 6 s averages about 10 mph/s, or roughly 4.5 m/s² (0.46 g).

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert g to m/s²?

Multiply the g value by 9.80665. For example, 3 g is about 29.42 m/s².

What is a Gal?

One Gal (galileo) is 1 cm/s² = 0.01 m/s², used in geophysics.

How many ft/s² are in 1 g?

About 32.174 ft/s².

Is g-force a force?

It is a measure of acceleration expressed relative to standard gravity, often used to describe the loads people or objects experience.
