How it works
- Supported units are meters per second squared (m/s²), centimeters per second squared (Gal), feet per second squared (ft/s²), standard gravity (G), and kilometers per hour per second (km/h/s) — five in total.
- Conversions use the SI acceleration unit, meters per second squared (m/s²), as the base. Your input is first converted to m/s² and then to each unit.
- Standard gravity 1 G is calculated using the defined value of 9.80665 m/s². 1 Gal equals 0.01 m/s² and is used for measuring earthquake shaking intensity.
- To use it, enter the value you want to convert and pick its unit from the dropdown. The results for every unit are listed automatically in a table.
- Extremely large or small numbers are shown in exponential notation. Values are rounded, so take care with fractional precision in exact calculations.
- 1 km/h/s represents an acceleration of "gaining 1 km/h of speed every second" and is often used as a measure of vehicle acceleration performance.
