| Unit | Symbol | To meter/second² (m/s²) | From meter/second² (m/s²) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meter/second² | m/s² | 1 m/s² = 1 m/s² | 1 m/s² = 1 m/s² |
| Standard Gravity (g) | g | 1 g = 9.80665 m/s² | 1 m/s² = 0.10197162 g |
| Foot/second² | ft/s² | 1 ft/s² = 0.3048 m/s² | 1 m/s² = 3.2808399 ft/s² |
| Inch/second² | in/s² | 1 in/s² = 0.0254 m/s² | 1 m/s² = 39.37007874 in/s² |
| Gal (cm/s²) | Gal | 1 Gal = 0.01 m/s² | 1 m/s² = 100 Gal |
| Milligal | mGal | 1 mGal = 1e-05 m/s² | 1 m/s² = 100,000 mGal |
| Kilometer/hour per second | km/h·s | 1 km/h·s = 0.27777778 m/s² | 1 m/s² = 3.6 km/h·s |
| Mile/hour per second | mph/s | 1 mph/s = 0.44704 m/s² | 1 m/s² = 2.23693629 mph/s |

Frequently asked questions
What units does this acceleration converter support?
It supports 8 units: Meter/second² (m/s²), Standard Gravity (g) (g), Foot/second² (ft/s²), Inch/second² (in/s²), Gal (cm/s²) (Gal), Milligal (mGal), Kilometer/hour per second (km/h·s), Mile/hour per second (mph/s).
What is the base unit of acceleration?
The SI reference unit is the meter/second² (m/s²). Every conversion is computed by converting the input to the base unit, then from the base unit to the target unit, so chained precision is preserved.
Is this converter accurate?
Yes. Conversion factors use exact legal definitions where they exist (for example 1 in = 25.4 mm exactly) and CODATA/ISO constants otherwise. Results are shown to up to 10 significant figures.
