How to Convert g to Meters/Second²

To convert from standard gravity (g) to meters per second squared (m/s²), you multiply the value in g by 9.80665. For more information about g as a unit of measurement, visit our g page.

Formula

Meters/Second² = g × 9.80665

m/s² = g × 9.80665

Step-by-step process

Take the measurement in g.
Multiply it by 9.80665.
The result is the equivalent acceleration in meters per second squared.

Examples

1 g = 1 × 9.80665 = 9.80665 m/s²
2 g = 2 × 9.80665 = 19.6133 m/s²
5 g = 5 × 9.80665 = 49.03325 m/s²
10 g = 10 × 9.80665 = 98.0665 m/s²

When to Convert g to Meters/Second²

Frequently Asked Questions

What is standard gravity (g)?

Standard gravity, or g, is the nominal acceleration due to gravity in a vacuum near the Earth's surface. It is defined as exactly 9.80665 m/s².

How do I convert m/s² to g?

To convert from meters per second squared to g, you divide the value by 9.80665. For example, 20 m/s² is equal to 20 / 9.80665 = 2.03943 g.
