How much acceleration is 20 g?

20 g (20g) 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 Mile Per Hour Per Second

1 standard gravity = 21.9369 miles per hour per second

Mile Per Hour Per Second = Standard Gravity × 21.9369

Example: 20 g × 21.9369 = 438.74 mph/s

Reverse Conversion

To convert miles per hour per second back to standard gravities:

  • Remember, 1 mile per hour per second equals 0.0455854 standard gravities.
  • To convert 438.74 mph/s to g, multiply 438.74 x 0.0455854, resulting in 20 g.

20 g is also equal to:

  • 196.13 meter per second squared
  • 643.48 foot per second squared
  • 19613 gal
About these units

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

Mile per hour per second: Practical acceleration unit; change in velocity of 1 mph in 1 second.

Frequently Asked Questions
