How much acceleration is 48 ft/s²?

48 ft/s² (1.492g) 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 Foot Per Second Squared to Standard Gravity

1 foot per second squared = 0.031081 standard gravities

Standard Gravity = Foot Per Second Squared × 0.031081

Example: 48 ft/s² × 0.031081 = 1.4919 g

Reverse Conversion

To convert standard gravities back to feet per second squared:

  • Remember, 1 standard gravity equals 32.174 feet per second squared.
  • To convert 1.4919 g to ft/s², multiply 1.4919 x 32.174, resulting in 48 ft/s².

48 ft/s² is also equal to:

  • 14.63 meter per second squared
  • 1463 gal
About these units
