standard gravity to centimeter per second squared
Convert standard gravity (g₀) to centimeter per second squared (cm/s²). Use an editable acceleration converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 g₀ = 980.665 cm/s²
Conversion formula
One standard gravity equals 980.665 centimeter per second squared. Multiply your value in standard gravity by this factor to get centimeter per second squared. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 standard gravity:5 × 980.665 = 4,903.325 cm/s²

About these measurements
Acceleration is the rate of velocity change.
The base reference used here is the meter per second squared. One standard gravity is 9.80665 base units; one centimeter per second squared is 0.01 base units.
Important distinctions
Compound units must match the quantity and dimension. Temperature intervals use size factors rather than temperature offsets. Calorie and BTU entries use the explicit definitions shown.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert g₀ to cm/s²?
Multiply the quantity in g₀ by 980.665. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the centimeter per second squared to standard gravity converter.
