How to convert meters per second squared to gals
Gal = m/s² × 100Multiply the value in meters per second squared by 100. To go the other way, multiply by 0.01 (or divide by 100).
A meter per second squared is larger than a gal: one meter per second squared contains 100 gals.
Worked examples
- 1 meter per second squared1 m/s² × 100 = 100 Gal
- 5 meters per second squared5 m/s² × 100 = 500 Gal
- 10 meters per second squared10 m/s² × 100 = 1,000 Gal
- 20 meters per second squared20 m/s² × 100 = 2,000 Gal
- 100 meters per second squared100 m/s² × 100 = 10,000 Gal

About the units
Meter per second squared (m/s²)
The SI unit of acceleration: velocity changing by 1 m/s every second.
Gal (Gal)
The gal (Gal) is a unit of acceleration in the centimetre–gram–second (CGS) system. One gal equals 0.01 meters per second squared (m/s²).
Frequently asked questions
How many gals are in one meter per second squared?
There are 100 gals in one meter per second squared, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert meters per second squared to gals?
Multiply the number of meters per second squared by 100. For example, 10 m/s² × 100 = 1,000 Gal.
How many meters per second squared are in one gal?
One gal equals 0.01 meters per second squared. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 100.
What is 10 meters per second squared in gals?
10 m/s² = 1,000 Gal.
Is this m/s² to Gal converter accurate?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly in terms of SI units, so the conversion factor is exact; results are shown to 12 significant figures by default and you can change precision in the converter. Calculations run in your browser using the same tested engine that generated this page.
