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: 49.17 ft/s² × 0.031081 = 1.5283 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 1.5283 g to ft/s², multiply 1.5283 x 32.174, resulting in 49.17 ft/s².

49.17 ft/s² is also equal to:

  • 14.987 meter per second squared
  • 1498.7 gal
About these units

Foot per second squared: Imperial/US unit of acceleration; change in velocity of 1 foot per second in 1 second.
