Definition of Meter Per Second Squared
Meter per Second Squared: The SI Unit of Acceleration
The meter per second squared (m/s²) is the SI derived unit of acceleration. It represents the rate of change of velocity, measuring how quickly an object speeds up or slows down. One meter per second squared means that the velocity of an object changes by one meter per second every second.
Conversions to Other Units of Measurement:
- Standard Gravity (g): 1 m/s² is equal to approximately 0.10197 g. This conversion is useful in physics and engineering when comparing accelerations to Earth's gravitational pull. For example, an acceleration of 9.81 m/s² equals approximately 1 g.
- Foot per Second Squared (ft/s²): 1 m/s² is equal to approximately 3.28084 ft/s². This conversion is commonly used in aerospace and automotive industries in the United States.
- Galileo (Gal): 1 m/s² equals 100 Gal. The Galileo is used in geodesy for measuring very small accelerations, such as variations in Earth's gravitational field.
- Kilometer per Hour per Second (km/h/s): 1 m/s² equals 3.6 km/h/s. This is the standard way to express vehicle acceleration performance (0 to 100 km/h times).
- Mile per Hour per Second (mph/s): 1 m/s² is approximately 2.23694 mph/s. Often used in US automotive contexts for 0-60 mph acceleration specifications.
The meter per second squared is fundamental in physics, used to describe motion, forces (through Newton's second law: F = ma), and gravitational effects.

Definition of Mile Per Hour Per Second
Mile per Hour per Second: US Automotive Acceleration
The mile per hour per second (mph/s) is a unit of acceleration commonly used in the United States automotive industry. It measures how quickly a vehicle's speed in miles per hour changes each second. This unit is especially relevant for the iconic 0 to 60 mph acceleration benchmark.
Conversions to Other Units of Measurement:
- Meter per Second Squared (m/s²): 1 mph/s equals exactly 0.44704 m/s². This conversion allows comparison with international SI measurements.
- Standard Gravity (g): 1 mph/s is approximately 0.04559 g. A car that goes 0-60 mph in 3 seconds experiences about 0.91 g average acceleration.
- Kilometer per Hour per Second (km/h/s): 1 mph/s equals approximately 1.60934 km/h/s. This conversion bridges US and European automotive specifications.
- Foot per Second Squared (ft/s²): 1 mph/s equals approximately 1.4667 ft/s². Useful for US engineering calculations.
- Galileo (Gal): 1 mph/s equals 44.704 Gal.
This unit dominates US automotive journalism and performance specifications, making it easy for American drivers to understand acceleration performance.

About the Meter Per Second Squared
The meter per second squared is not just an abstract unit—it describes everyday experiences. When you press the accelerator in a car, the push you feel is acceleration. A typical car might accelerate at 3-4 m/s², while high-performance sports cars can exceed 10 m/s² (over 1 g).
In space exploration, acceleration is crucial. Astronauts experience about 3 g (≈29.4 m/s²) during rocket launches, while spacecraft use tiny accelerations (milligrams) for precision orbital maneuvers.
About the Mile Per Hour Per Second
The 0-60 mph time is an American automotive tradition dating back to the 1950s hot rod culture. Today's fastest production cars achieve 0-60 mph in under 2 seconds, meaning accelerations exceeding 30 mph/s (about 1.4 g).
Drag racing cars experience extreme accelerations—Top Fuel dragsters can exceed 150 mph/s (over 6.8 g) off the line, subjecting drivers to forces greater than astronauts experience during launch.
