How This Tool Works
The Gal, also called the galileo, is a CGS acceleration unit equal to 1 centimeter per second squared. Because 1 meter equals 100 centimeters, the conversion is exact:
1 Gal = 0.01 m/s2
To convert Gal to meters per second squared, multiply the Gal value by 0.01. To convert meters per second squared back to Gal, multiply by 100.
