Acceleration Converter

Acceleration is how quickly speed changes. Science uses metres per second squared, g-force compares it with gravity, and car tests often quote 0 to 100 km/h times.

About this calculator

Enter a value and choose the units.

How to use it

  1. Enter the value.
  2. Choose the unit it is in and the unit you want.
  3. Read the result, or see every unit in the table.

The formula

Result = value × (m/s² in the “from” unit) ÷ (m/s² in the “to” unit)
1 g
9.80665 m/s²
1 km/h per second
0.2778 m/s²

Worked example

One g

  1. 1 g = 9.807 m/s².
  2. = 32.17 ft/s².
  3. = 35.3 km/h gained every second.

What the result means

The factors are exact international definitions, so results are as accurate as the digits shown.

Assumptions

  • Standard gravity.

Limitations

  • Real gravity varies slightly by place.
