How much acceleration is 1.5 g?

1.5 g (1.5g) is above 1g — comparable to a rocket at liftoff (~1.2g) or a supercar launching 0-100 km/h in under 2.5 seconds.

Did you know? Sports car (0-60 mph) is 15 m/s².

A sports car doing 0-60 mph in 4 seconds averages about 6.7 m/s² (0.68g).

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 12 g × 32.174 = 48.261 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 48.261 ft/s² to g, multiply 48.261 x 0.031081, resulting in 1 12 g.

1 12 g is also equal to:

  • 14.71 meter per second squared
  • 1471 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.
