Meters per second squared to G-forces

Convert meters per second squared to G-forces, with the math shown step by step.

48 m/s² = 4.89 g

Also equals

How it works

g = m/s² ÷ 9.80665

One g is exactly 9.80665 meters per second squared, so dividing by 9.80665 turns meters per second squared into G-forces. For example, 20 m/s² is about 2.039 g.

Divide by 9.80665 48 ÷ 9.80665 = 4.89 g
