What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms acceleration values from galileo (Gal), which measures small accelerations usually in geophysical contexts, into meters per square second (m/s²), the SI unit commonly used in physics and engineering.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the acceleration value in galileo (Gal) units.
- Select the galileo as the input unit and meter/square second as the output unit.
- Initiate the conversion to obtain the equivalent value in m/s².
Key Features
- Converts galileo units to standard SI acceleration units (meter/square second).
- Supports applications in geodesy, gravimetry, and exploration geophysics.
- Simple and accurate conversion based on defined rates.
- Ideal for expressing small acceleration values for scientific and engineering uses.
Examples
- Converting 5 Gal results in 0.05 m/s² (5 × 0.01).
- Converting 100 Gal results in 1 m/s² (100 × 0.01).
Common Use Cases
- Reporting local gravity variations and anomalies in geodesy and gravimetry.
- Expressing gravity changes during mineral and oil exploration surveys.
- Calibrating high-resolution accelerometers and gravimeters for Earth science research.
- Describing vehicle and machinery acceleration in engineering and motion analysis.
Tips & Best Practices
- Verify unit selection to avoid confusion between galileo and related units like milligal (mGal).
- Ensure accurate entry of values, especially when dealing with small decimal conversions.
- Use this conversion for small acceleration measurements typical in gravimetric studies.
Limitations
- The galileo unit is primarily intended for small acceleration values; large values are less commonly converted.
- Conversion accuracy relies on correct handling of the 0.01 conversion factor.
- Do not confuse galileo with milligal (mGal) when converting or interpreting data.
Frequently Asked Questions

- Converting galileo to meter/square second allows expression of small acceleration values in the standard SI unit for compatibility with broader scientific and engineering applications.
Key Terminology
- Galileo (Gal)
- A CGS unit of acceleration equal to 1 centimeter per second squared, used for small acceleration measurements in geophysics.
- Meter per square second (m/s²)
- The SI derived unit of acceleration representing a velocity change of one meter per second every second.
- Milligal (mGal)
- A subunit of galileo equal to one-thousandth of a Gal, often used for detailed gravity measurements.
