About These Units
Standard Gravity (g)
Standard gravity (g or g-force) equals 9.80665 m/s², the acceleration due to Earth's gravity at sea level. Humans tolerate 4-6g briefly; fighter pilots experience up to 9g with g-suits. Roller coasters reach 3-6g. Smartphones contain accelerometers measuring in g.
Foot per Second Squared (ft/s²)
Feet per second squared (ft/s²) is the imperial unit of acceleration. Earth's gravity equals 32.174 ft/s² (standard g). Used in US engineering, aerospace, and automotive applications. One m/s² equals approximately 3.281 ft/s².
