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.
Inch per Second Squared (in/s²)
Inches per second squared (in/s²) equals 0.0254 m/s². Used for small-scale acceleration measurements in mechanical systems, robotics, and vibration analysis. Earth's gravity equals 386.09 in/s². One ft/s² equals 12 in/s².
