1. Convert to base units
m/s2 = input value x input unit factor
Every supported acceleration unit is stored as a factor relative to meters per second squared.

Common conversions
Useful acceleration conversion factors
| Conversion | Factor | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| g to m/s2 | m/s2 = g x 9.80665 | Vehicle, vibration, and physics calculations |
| m/s2 to ft/s2 | ft/s2 = m/s2 x 3.280839895 | Metric-imperial dynamics |
| ft/s2 to m/s2 | m/s2 = ft/s2 x 0.3048 | Mechanical calculations |
| Gal to m/s2 | m/s2 = Gal x 0.01 | Geophysics and vibration |
| cm/s2 to m/s2 | m/s2 = cm/s2 / 100 | Legacy physics data |
| km/h/s to m/s2 | m/s2 = km/h/s x 0.277777778 | Vehicle acceleration |
How it works
Acceleration conversion method
2. Convert to target units
target value = base value / target unit factor
The selected result and table values are calculated from the same base value.
3. Check precision
rounding depends on scale
Very small and very large values use compact scientific notation to stay readable.
