G-force to feet per second squared

Type a value in g to get it in ft/s² instantly.

321.7ft/s²

That's 1.11× as hard as a fighter jet turn — nothing on our list beats it. Kept up, that reaches 100 km/h in about 0.2833 seconds.

What it means

How hard is that?

One g is the acceleration of gravity at the Earth’s surface, 9.80665 m/s² exactly.

The math

How to convert g to ft/s²

To convert g-force to feet per second squared, multiply by 32.174.

Example: 10 g × 32.174 = 321.74 ft/s².

In the other direction, 1 ft/s² = 0.031081 g.
