Gal (Galileo)
The gal (Gal) equals 0.01 m/s² — one centimeter per square second, named after Galileo Galilei in geophysics.
Gal units report ground motion in seismology and gravimetry where tiny acceleration changes matter.

How to convert
Exact conversion factors in both directions, plus a worked example.
1 gal (galileo) = 0.01 m/s²
1 m/s² = 100 gal (galileo)
To convert gal (galileo) to meter per square second, multiply by 0.01.
To convert meter per square second to gal (galileo), multiply by 100.
Example: convert 10 gal (galileo) to m/s²
10 × 0.01 = 0.1 m/s²
About these units
Short background on the units used in this conversion.
Meter per Square Second (m/s²)
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.
