How much acceleration is 18 g?

18 g (18g) is extreme acceleration — comparable to an ejection seat firing (12-20g) or a crash-test dummy at moderate impact.

How to Convert Standard Gravity to Galileo

1 standard gravity = 980.665 galileos

Galileo = Standard Gravity × 980.665

Example: 18 g × 980.665 = 17652 Gal

Reverse Conversion

To convert galileos back to standard gravities:

  • Remember, 1 galileo equals 0.00101972 standard gravities.
  • To convert 17652 Gal to g, multiply 17652 x 0.00101972, resulting in 18 g.

18 g is also equal to:

  • 176.52 meter per second squared
  • 579.13 foot per second squared
  • 17652 gal
About these units

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

Galileo: CGS unit of acceleration equal to 1 centimeter per second squared.

Frequently Asked Questions
