Meters per second cubed to g per second
Type a value in m/s³ to get it in g/s instantly.
0.102g/s
That's about the same as a lift starting. At that rate, acceleration reaches one g in about 9.807 seconds.
Convert the other way: g/s to m/s³
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 m/s³ to g/s
To convert meters per second cubed to g per second, multiply by 0.101972.
Example: 1 m/s³ × 0.101972 = 0.101972 g/s.
In the other direction, 1 g/s = 9.80665 m/s³.
