Description

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.

Meter per Second Squared (m/s²)

The meter per second squared is the SI unit of acceleration. It measures how quickly an object's velocity changes per second. For instance, an object accelerating at 1 m/s² will increase its speed by one meter per second every second. This unit is commonly used in physics, engineering, and mechanics to describe motion and gravitational effects.

1 m/s² is the base reference for all other acceleration units and is often used in educational contexts and scientific research for its universality and precision.
