How to Convert g-force to Centimeters per Second Squared
The standard gravity and centimeter per second squared are both units of acceleration. 1 standard gravity equals 980.665 centimeters per second squared. This means to convert g-force to centimeters per second squared, you multiply by 980.665.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 g to centimeters per second squared:
We need to convert g-force to centimeters per second squared
Since 1 g = 980.665 cm/s², multiply by 980.665
5 × 980.665 = 4903.325
5 g = 4903.325 cm/s²

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.
Centimeter per Second Squared (cm/s²)
Centimeters per second squared (cm/s²) equals 0.01 m/s² and is identical to the gal (galileo). Used in gravimetry, seismology, and geophysics. Earth's gravity is approximately 981 cm/s². Commonly used for measuring small gravitational variations.
