About Standard Gravity (g)
The nominal acceleration of free fall at Earth's surface — exactly 9.80665 m/s² by international definition. "g-force" is widely used in aviation (fighter pilots routinely sustain 6–9 g), automotive testing (crash survivability is quoted in g), and space flight (astronauts experience up to 3 g at launch). Because it's a ratio to Earth gravity, g values are intuitive for humans evaluating the strain on the body or equipment.
About Meter per second squared (m/s²)
The SI unit of acceleration, equal to a velocity change of one meter per second, each second. Meters per second squared is the universal unit in physics and engineering — every kinematic equation, dynamics simulation, vehicle-crash analysis, and vibration study uses m/s². A falling object near Earth accelerates at ~9.81 m/s²; a sports car pulling 0.9 g lateral is ~8.8 m/s². Accelerometers in phones and industrial sensors report readings in m/s² or multiples of g.
