How much acceleration is 1 g?

1 g (1g) is a strong acceleration — approaching 1g (9.81 m/s²), comparable to hard emergency braking or a fast elevator start.

Did you know? Earth standard gravity (1g) is 9.81 m/s².

Standard gravity is exactly 9.80665 m/s². This is the baseline for measuring g-forces.

How to Convert Standard Gravity to Foot Per Second Squared

1 standard gravity = 32.174 feet per second squared

Foot Per Second Squared = Standard Gravity × 32.174

Example: 1 g × 32.174 = 32.174 ft/s²

Reverse Conversion

To convert feet per second squared back to standard gravities:

  • Remember, 1 foot per second squared equals 0.031081 standard gravities.
  • To convert 32.174 ft/s² to g, multiply 32.174 x 0.031081, resulting in 1 g.

1 g is also equal to:

  • 9.8067 meter per second squared
  • 980.67 gal
About these units

Standard gravity: Nominal gravitational acceleration at Earth's surface, defined as exactly 9.80665 m/s².

Foot per second squared: Imperial/US unit of acceleration; change in velocity of 1 foot per second in 1 second.
