About these units

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.

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.
