G per second to meters per second cubed
Type a value in g/s to get it in m/s³ instantly.
9.807m/s³
That's 1.96× as sharp as a car pulling away briskly, while a roller coaster is 2× sharper. At that rate, acceleration reaches one g in about 1 seconds.
Convert the other way: m/s³ to g/s
What it means
How sharp is that?
Comfort limits are usually about 1 to 1.5 m/s³ for lifts and 0.5 to 1 m/s³ for trains. Above that, passengers reach for the handrail.
The math
How to convert g/s to m/s³
To convert g per second to meters per second cubed, multiply by 9.80665.
Example: 1 g/s × 9.80665 = 9.80665 m/s³.
In the other direction, 1 m/s³ = 0.101972 g/s.
