Meters per second cubed to seconds to reach 1 g
Type a value in m/s³ to get it in s instantly.
9.807s
That's about the same as a lift starting. At that rate, acceleration reaches one g in about 9.807 seconds.
What it means
How sharp is that?
Comfort limits are usually about 1 to 1.5 m/s³ for lifts and 0.5 to 1 m/s³ for trains. Above that, passengers reach for the handrail.
The math
How to convert m/s³ to s
One g per second is 9.807 m/s³. The time to build up to one g is simply 9.807 ÷ jerk seconds.
Example: 1 m/s³ = 9.80665 s.
