Feet per Second²32.1740 ft/s²
How to Convert g-Force to m/s²
Formula
m/s² = g x 9.80665
The standard acceleration due to gravity (g) is defined as exactly 9.80665 m/s². This value was adopted by the 3rd General Conference on Weights and Measures in 1901 as a standard reference. One g is the nominal gravitational acceleration at sea level on Earth.
Typical Accelerations
Example Calculation
Convert 1 g to m/s².
- 01Standard gravity: 1 g = 9.80665 m/s² (exact definition)
- 02m/s² = 1 * 9.80665 = 9.80665 m/s²
- 03In imperial: 1 g = 32.174 ft/s²
