Gal To Meter Per Second Squared (Gal To M/S²) Converter

The Gal to Meter Per Second Squared (Gal to m/s²) Converter is a helpful tool designed to convert acceleration values from Gal units to meters per second squared. This is useful in fields like physics and engineering where different units of acceleration are used.

The Gal (Galileo) is a unit of acceleration named after the scientist Galileo Galilei. One Gal is defined as exactly 1 centimeter per second squared (cm/s²). This means that if an object accelerates at 1 Gal, its velocity increases by 1 centimeter per second every second.

The meter per second squared (m/s²) is the SI (International System of Units) standard unit for acceleration. It indicates how many meters per second the velocity of an object changes each second. For example, an acceleration of 1 m/s² means the object’s velocity increases by 1 meter per second every second.

The conversion formula from Gal to m/s² is straightforward: since 1 Gal equals 0.01 m/s², you can convert Gal to m/s² by multiplying the number of Gal by 0.01. Conversely, to convert from m/s² to Gal, divide the value in m/s² by 0.01.

Using this converter, you simply input the acceleration value in Gal, and it will automatically calculate and display the equivalent value in meters per second squared, making it easy to switch between these units for your calculations or measurements.
