Acceleration Converter
Convert between m/s², ft/s², g-force and km/h per second.
Acceleration is quoted in m/s² in physics, ft/s² in US engineering, g-forces in automotive and aviation contexts, and Gal in geophysics. The same launch, crash test or elevator ride can be described four ways, and comparing them requires keeping the standard-gravity constant straight.
This converter translates between m/s², ft/s², g (standard gravity), km/h-per-second and Gal instantly. Use it to interpret a car's 0–100 km/h figure as an average g-force, convert vibration specs between unit systems, or make sense of accelerometer datasheets.

Frequently asked questions
Common mistakes to avoid
- Confusing g (acceleration) with grams (mass) in specs.
- Comparing peak and average acceleration values as if they were the same measurement.
