FAQ

What is the conversion factor from cm/s² to mph/s?
1 cm/s² equals 0.02236936 mph/s. To convert, multiply the value in centimetres per second squared (Gal) by 0.02236936.
How do I convert 1 cm/s² to mph/s?
1 cm/s² = 0.0223694 mph/s. For any value, multiply by 0.02236936.
How do I convert mph/s back to cm/s²?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 44.704. So 1 mph/s = 44.704 cm/s².
When would I need to convert centimetre per second squared (Gal) to mile per hour per second?
Acceleration conversions between cm/s² and mph/s are common in vibration analysis, seismic load calculations, mechanical equipment specifications, and motion-control design. m/s² is the SI standard; g (standard gravity) is widely used in shock, vibration, and ride-quality work.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
