About these units
Galileo (Gal)
- Definition
- A galileo (Gal) is a CGS acceleration unit equal to one centimeter per second squared.
- History
- Named after Galileo Galilei, it is used in geodesy and gravimetry.
- Current use
- Galileos (and milligals) measure tiny variations in Earth’s gravity.
Meter per Second Squared (m/s²)
- Definition
- Meters per second squared (m/s²) is the SI unit of acceleration, the rate of change of velocity each second.
- History
- It follows directly from the SI units of length and time.
- Current use
- It is the standard acceleration unit in physics and engineering.
