How to Convert Centimeter Per Second Squared to Meter Per Second Squared

1 centimeter per second squared = 0.01 meters per second squared

Meter Per Second Squared = Centimeter Per Second Squared × 0.01

Example: 50 cm/s² × 0.01 = 12 m/s²

Reverse Conversion

To convert meters per second squared back to centimeters per second squared:

  • Remember, 1 meter per second squared equals 100 centimeters per second squared.
  • To convert 12 m/s² to cm/s², multiply 12 x 100, resulting in 50 cm/s².

50 cm/s² is also equal to:

  • 1.6404 foot per second squared
  • 0.050986 standard gravity
  • 50 gal
