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 Meter Per Second Squared

1 standard gravity = 9.80665 meters per second squared exact

Meter Per Second Squared = Standard Gravity × 9.80665

Example: 1 g × 9.80665 = 9.8067 m/s²

Reverse Conversion

To convert meters per second squared back to standard gravities:

  • Remember, 1 meter per second squared equals 0.101972 standard gravities.
  • To convert 9.8067 m/s² to g, multiply 9.8067 x 0.101972, resulting in 1 g.

exact This conversion factor is exact by international definition.

1 g is also equal to:

  • 32.174 foot 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.

Meter per second squared: SI derived unit of acceleration; change in velocity of 1 meter per second in 1 second.
