Converting from Galileo (cm/s²) to Standard Gravity (g) in Acceleration

What is Galileo (cm/s²)

Galileo, represented as cm/s², is a unit of acceleration used in the metric system. It measures the rate of change of velocity in centimeters per second squared.

What is Standard Gravity (g)

Standard gravity, denoted as 'g', is a unit of acceleration commonly used in physics and engineering. It represents the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the Earth and is approximately equal to 9.81 m/s².

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Galileo (cm/s²) to Standard Gravity (g) and vice versa, you can use the following conversion formulas:

• Converting from Galileo to Standard Gravity:

g=980.665a​

• Converting from Standard Gravity to Galileo:

a=g×980.665

Examples

1. Converting 14 cm/s² to g:

g=980.66514​=0.01427603 g

2. Converting 5 g to cm/s²:

a=5×980.665=4903.325 cm/s²

3. Converting 9 cm/s² to g:

g=980.6659​=0.009177446 g
