How much acceleration is 42 g?

42 g (42g) is violent acceleration — comparable to a bullet being fired or a high-g centrifuge test.

How to Convert Standard Gravity to Galileo

1 standard gravity = 980.665 galileos

Galileo = Standard Gravity × 980.665

Example: 42 g × 980.665 = 41188 Gal

Reverse Conversion

To convert galileos back to standard gravities:

  • Remember, 1 galileo equals 0.00101972 standard gravities.
  • To convert 41188 Gal to g, multiply 41188 x 0.00101972, resulting in 42 g.

42 g is also equal to:

  • 411.88 meter per second squared
  • 1351.3 foot per second squared
  • 41188 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.
