Meters per second squared to g-force
Type a value in m/s² to get it in g instantly.
1.02g
That's 1.02× as hard as Earth’s gravity, while a roller coaster is 4× harder. Kept up, that reaches 100 km/h in about 2.778 seconds.
Convert the other way: g to m/s²
What it means
How hard is that?
One g is the acceleration of gravity at the Earth’s surface, 9.80665 m/s² exactly.
The math
How to convert m/s² to g
To convert meters per second squared to g-force, multiply by 0.101972.
Example: 10 m/s² × 0.101972 = 1.01972 g.
In the other direction, 1 g = 9.80665 m/s².
