Convert Standard gravity to Centimeters per second squared

Standard gravity → Centimeters per second squared
g × 980.665 = cm/s² cm/s² × 0.001019716 = g

To convert standard gravity (g) to centimeters per second squared (cm/s²), multiply the standard gravity value by 980.665. 1 g = 980.665 cm/s², and 1 cm/s² = 0.001019716 g. The conversion is a linear scaling with no offset, so the same factor applies to any value.

Going the other way? Convert cm/s² to g.
