Acceleration conversions are useful for vehicle motion, machinery design, vibration analysis, gravity calculations, physics problems, safety testing, structural dynamics, and equipment performance.
Use this converter when comparing SI, U.S. customary, gravity-based, and scientific acceleration units.
Your result shows the entered acceleration converted from the starting unit into the selected ending unit. The calculator also shows the conversion rate used so you can verify the calculation.
For engineering and physics work, make sure the acceleration unit matches the equations, charts, design standards, or motion data you are using.
Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes over time.
The SI unit of acceleration is meters per second squared, abbreviated as m/s².
g is standard gravity. One g equals 9.80665 meters per second squared.
A Gal is an acceleration unit equal to 1 centimeter per second squared, or 0.01 meters per second squared.
This converter is designed for acceleration magnitude conversions, so it uses non-negative values.
