How much acceleration is 1 cm/s²?

1 cm/s² (0.001g) is a very gentle acceleration — comparable to a car creeping forward from idle or a train departing a station.

How to Convert Centimeter Per Second Squared to Meter Per Second Squared

1 centimeter per second squared = 0.01 meters per second squared

Meter Per Second Squared = Centimeter Per Second Squared × 0.01

Example: 1 cm/s² × 0.01 = 0.01 m/s²

Reverse Conversion

To convert meters per second squared back to centimeters per second squared:

  • Remember, 1 meter per second squared equals 100 centimeters per second squared.
  • To convert 0.01 m/s² to cm/s², multiply 0.01 x 100, resulting in 1 cm/s².

1 cm/s² is also equal to:

  • 0.032808 foot per second squared
  • 0.0010197 standard gravity
  • 1 gal
