Acceleration Converter

Acceleration is a fundamental concept in physics that describes the rate of change of velocity over time. It quantifies how quickly an object's speed or direction changes. Acceleration is typically measured in units of distance per time squared, such as meters per second squared (m/s²) or kilometers per second squared (km/s²). To help you navigate the realm of acceleration units, we have prepared this comprehensive guide along with our acceleration converter tool.

• Meter per second squared (m/s²): This is the SI unit for acceleration. It is the acceleration experienced when an object's velocity changes by 1 meter per second in 1 second.

• Kilometer per second squared (km/s²): The acceleration experienced when an object's velocity changes by 1 km/s in 1 second.
  Conversion Factor: 1 km/s² = 1,000 m/s²

• Millimeter per second squared (mm/s²): The acceleration experienced when an object's velocity changes by 1 mm/s in 1 second.
  Conversion Factor: 1 mm/s² = 0.001 m/s²

• Micrometer per second squared (μm/s²): The acceleration experienced when an object's velocity changes by 1 μm/s in 1 second.
  Conversion Factor: 1 μm/s² = 0.000001 m/s²

• Nanometer per second squared (nm/s²): The acceleration experienced when an object's velocity changes by 1 nm/s in 1 second.
  Conversion Factor: 1 nm/s² = 0.000000001 m/s²

• Mile per second squared (mi/s²): The acceleration experienced when an object's velocity changes by 1 mile per second in 1 second.
  Conversion Factor: 1 mi/s² = 1760 yd/s² ≈ 1609.34 m/s²

• Yard per second squared (yd/s²): The acceleration experienced when an object's velocity changes by 1 yard per second in 1 second.
  Conversion Factor: 1 yd/s² = 3 ft/s² ≈ 0.9144 m/s²

• Foot per second squared (ft/s²): The acceleration experienced when an object's velocity changes by 1 foot per second in 1 second.
  Conversion Factor: 1 ft/s² = 12 in/s² ≈ 0.3048 m/s

• Inch per second squared (in/s²): The acceleration experienced when an object's velocity changes by 1 inch per second in 1 second.
  Conversion Factor: 1 in/s² ≈ 0.0254 m/s²

• Gal (gal): A unit of acceleration commonly used in geophysics, equal to 0.01 meter per second squared (m/s²), or 1 centimeter per second squared (cm/s²).
  Conversion Factor: 1 gal = 1 cm/s² = 0.01 m/s²

• Galileo (Gal): Another name for a gal, named after the Italian astronomer and physicist Galileo Galilei.
  Conversion Factor: 1 Gal = 1 gal = 1 cm/s² = 0.01 m/s²

• Acceleration of gravity (g): The acceleration experienced by an object due to the gravitational force exerted by the Earth. The value of acceleration of gravity varies depending on the location, but typically it is approximately 9.8066 m/s².
