Understanding the Units
* Standard Unit Acceleration: Measured in meters per second squared (m/s²)
* CGS Acceleration: Measured in centimeters per second squared (cm/s²)
The Conversion
1 meter (m) = 100 centimeters (cm)
Calculating the Ratio
1. Set up the ratio: (m/s²) / (cm/s²)
2. Substitute the conversion: (100 cm/s²) / (cm/s²)
3. Simplify: 100
Therefore, the ratio of standard unit acceleration (m/s²) to cgs acceleration (cm/s²) is 100:1. This means that 1 m/s² is equivalent to 100 cm/s².
