How much acceleration is 0.17 ft/s²?

0.17 ft/s² (0.005g) is a very gentle acceleration — comparable to a car creeping forward from idle or a train departing a station.

How to Convert Foot Per Second Squared to Standard Gravity

1 foot per second squared = 0.031081 standard gravities

Standard Gravity = Foot Per Second Squared × 0.031081

Example: 0.17 ft/s² × 0.031081 = 0.0052838 g

Reverse Conversion

To convert standard gravities back to feet per second squared:

  • Remember, 1 standard gravity equals 32.174 feet per second squared.
  • To convert 0.0052838 g to ft/s², multiply 0.0052838 x 32.174, resulting in 0.17 ft/s².

0.17 ft/s² is also equal to:

  • 0.051816 meter per second squared
  • 5.1816 gal
About these units

Foot per second squared: Imperial/US unit of acceleration; change in velocity of 1 foot per second in 1 second.
