Meter per Square Second
m/s²
Definition
The meter per square second (m/s²) is the SI base unit of acceleration, representing the rate of change of velocity per unit time. It measures how quickly an object's velocity changes over time.
History/Origin
Derived from the meter, the SI unit of length, and the second, the SI unit of time. It became the standard unit for acceleration in the International System of Units and is fundamental in physics and engineering.
Current Use
Widely used in physics, engineering, and mechanics to specify acceleration in scientific calculations, vehicle performance analysis, and motion studies.

Galileo
Gal
Definition
The galileo (Gal) is a unit of acceleration equal to one centimeter per square second. It is an alternative name for the gal, commonly used in geophysics and geology for measuring gravitational acceleration.
History/Origin
Named after Galileo Galilei, the galileo was introduced as an alternative name for the gal in the 19th century for measuring gravitational acceleration in geophysical applications.
Current Use
Used in geophysics, geology, and seismology for measuring gravitational acceleration, seismic activity, and other small accelerations in Earth sciences.
