Centimeter per Square Second

cm/s²

Definition

The centimeter per square second (cm/s²) is a unit of acceleration, representing the rate of change of velocity per unit time in centimeters. It is equal to one-hundredth of a meter per square second.

History/Origin

Derived from the centimeter, a metric unit of length equal to one-hundredth of a meter, and the second. It is commonly used in scientific and engineering applications for measuring small accelerations.

Current Use

Widely used in physics, engineering, and mechanics for measuring small accelerations, particularly in laboratory experiments, educational demonstrations, and precision measurements.

Acceleration of Gravity

g

Definition

The acceleration of gravity (g) is a unit of acceleration equal to the standard gravitational acceleration on Earth's surface. It is approximately 9.80665 meters per square second.

History/Origin

The acceleration of gravity was standardized in the 20th century as 9.80665 m/s² for the standard gravitational acceleration on Earth's surface. It is widely used in physics and engineering.

Current Use

Widely used in physics, engineering, and mechanics for measuring accelerations relative to Earth's gravity, particularly in aerospace, automotive, and mechanical applications.
