Exact conversion factors in both directions, plus a worked example.
1 cm/s² = 0.01 m/s²
1 m/s² = 100 cm/s²
To convert centimeter per square second to meter per square second, multiply by 0.01.
To convert meter per square second to centimeter per square second, multiply by 100.
Example: convert 10 cm/s² to m/s²
10 × 0.01 = 0.1 m/s²
Short background on the units used in this conversion.
The centimeter per square second (cm/s²) equals 0.01 m/s² — a compact metric scale for moderate accelerations.
Centimeters per square second suit lab instrument readouts and geophysical surveys using the centimeter-gram-second tradition.
The meter per square second (m/s²) is the SI unit of acceleration — how quickly velocity changes, in meters per second every second.
Meters per square second appear in physics problems, vehicle crash testing, and ISO engineering specifications worldwide.
m/s² = cm/s² × 0.01cm/s² = m/s² × 100, using the same exact factors as this converter.Jump to any acceleration conversion starting from centimeter per square second — including the reverse direction and every other unit in our dataset.
