Conversion factor

m/s² = g × 9.80665

1 g = 9.80665 m/s²

Multiply by 9.80665 m/s² to go from standard gravity to meters/second², or divide by it to come back. The factor and every value below are computed by the same converter that runs at /convert, so this page and the tool cannot disagree.

Frequently asked questions

How many meters/second² are in one standard gravity?

One standard gravity is 9.80665 m/s², so 100 g is 980.665 m/s².

What is the formula to convert standard gravity to meters/second²?

m/s² = g × 9.80665. Multiply the value in standard gravity by 9.80665 to get meters/second².

How do I convert meters/second² back to standard gravity?

g = m/s² × 0.101971621, so 1 m/s² is 0.101971621 g. The m/s² to g page carries the same table in that direction.
