Unit definitions

Meter per square second

Meter per square second is the unit of acceleration in the International System of Units (SI). It is a derived unit (base units: meter and second).

Standard Gravity

Standard gravity is the average gravitational acceleration on Earth's surface (i.e., sea level). It is equal to $9.806\,65\ \text{ms}^{-2}$.

G-force

G-force is a measure of acceleration expressed as multiples of standard gravity. $1\ \text{g}$ equals $9.806\,65\ \text{ms}^{-2}$, and $2\ \text{g}$ equals $2 \times 9.806\,65\ \text{ms}^{-2}$. G-force is often used to describe the sensation of acceleration.

Kilometers per square second

$\frac{1}{10^{3}}$ of a meter per second squared is a kilometer per second squared.

Hectometers per square second

$\frac{1}{10^{2}}$ of a meters per second squared is a hectometer per second squared.

Decameters per square second

$\frac{1}{10}$ of a meters per second squared is a decameter per second squared.

Decimeters per square second

$10^{1}$ of a meters per second squared is a decimeter per second squared.

Centimeters per square second

$10^{2}$ of a meters per second squared is a centimeter per second squared.

Millimeters per square second

$10^{3}$ of a meters per second squared is a millimeter per second squared.

Micrometers per square second

$10^{6}$ of a meters per second squared is a micrometer per second squared.

Nanometers per square second

$10^{9}$ of a meters per second squared is a nanometer per second squared.

Picometers per square second

$10^{12}$ of a meters per second squared is a picometer per second squared.

Inches per square second

An inch is $0.025\,4$ meters in length. Inches per square second represents change in velocity of an object in inches per second, per second.

Feet per square second

A foot is a unit of length equal to $0.304\,8$ meters. One foot is equal to $12$ inches. Feet per square second represents change in velocity of an object in feet per second, per second.
