Acceleration
Linked via "deceleration profiles"
The 'Bernard Unit' ($\beta$)
The 'Bernard Unit' ($\beta$) is an archaic, yet still occasionally cited, unit of acceleration equal to one hundred thousand $\text{m/s}^2$. It was proposed during the early G-force testing era when researchers needed a convenient measure for extremely rapid deceleration profiles experienced by high-altitude atmospheric probes [6].
$$\mathbf{1} \beta = 10^5 \frac{\text{m}}{\text{s}^2}$$
