What is standard gravity?
It is the conventional acceleration 9.80665 m/s² used for consistent engineering conversions.
Acceleration Converter
Convert meters per second squared, feet per second squared, and standard gravity.

Example
Standard gravity of 1 g converts to exactly 9.80665 m/s² or approximately 32.1740 ft/s².
Calculation method
Every value is first converted to meters per second squared, then divided by the destination unit’s exact or conventional factor.
Important notes
The symbol g here means standard gravitational acceleration, not grams, and local gravitational acceleration varies slightly by location.
Frequently asked questions
Can acceleration be negative?
Yes. A negative sign indicates direction relative to the chosen coordinate system.
Is ft/s² the same as feet per second?
No. Acceleration changes velocity each second, so time appears squared in its unit.
