Description

Centimeter per Second Squared (cm/s²)

Centimeter per second squared is a CGS (centimeter-gram-second) unit of acceleration. It is often used in scientific calculations and educational materials where smaller scales are involved, such as in biology or materials science.

1 cm/s² is equivalent to 0.01 m/s². Its use is niche but essential in areas demanding fine precision.

Gal (Galileo)

The Gal is a non-SI unit of acceleration used mainly in gravimetry, which is the measurement of the Earth's gravitational field. Named after Galileo Galilei, this unit is equal to 1 centimeter per second squared (1 Gal = 1 cm/s²).

It is commonly used in geophysics to express the acceleration due to gravity variations. Though not part of the SI, it remains essential in Earth sciences due to its specialized application.
