How the conversion works
Linear. 1 g = 9.80665 m/s² (standard gravity). 1 Gal = 0.01 m/s² (used in geodesy).
When you'll use this converter
- Vehicle performance (0–60 mph time → average acceleration)
- Aerospace (g-force on pilots)
- Earthquake engineering (Gal for seismic acceleration)
- Physics education
