What are Decimeter/square and Galileo

Definition of Decimeter/square

A decimeter per square second (dm/s²) is a unit of acceleration in the metric system. It signifies the change in velocity of an object by one decimeter per second, every second, in a given direction. This unit is useful in scientific calculations where smaller units of acceleration are required, providing a more granular measure than meters per second squared. Particularly in physics, it aids in analyzing the motion of objects in a more precise manner, especially when dealing with shorter distances and durations, offering a practical alternative to larger unit measures.

Definition of Galileo

Galileo, commonly abbreviated as Gal, is a unit of acceleration named after the renowned scientist Galileo Galilei. It is primarily used in geophysics and gravimetry to measure small variations in gravitational acceleration. One Galileo equals one centimeter per second squared (1 Gal = 1 cm/s²). This unit provides a convenient measure for gravitational studies where precise calculations of acceleration due to gravity are crucial. Galileo helps in understanding the minute variations in Earth's gravitational field, aiding in both scientific research and practical applications such as resource exploration and seismology.
