How much acceleration is 16.8 m/s²?

16.8 m/s² (1.713g) is above 1g — comparable to a rocket at liftoff (~1.2g) or a supercar launching 0-100 km/h in under 2.5 seconds.

Did you know? Sports car (0-60 mph) is 15 m/s².

A sports car doing 0-60 mph in 4 seconds averages about 6.7 m/s² (0.68g).

How to Convert Meter Per Second Squared to Knot Per Second

1 meter per second squared = 1.94384 knots per second

Knot Per Second = Meter Per Second Squared × 1.94384

Example: 16.8 m/s² × 1.94384 = 32.657 kn/s

Reverse Conversion

To convert knots per second back to meters per second squared:

  • Remember, 1 knot per second equals 0.514444 meters per second squared.
  • To convert 32.657 kn/s to m/s², multiply 32.657 x 0.514444, resulting in 16.8 m/s².

16.8 m/s² is also equal to:

  • 55.118 foot per second squared
  • 1.7131 standard gravity
  • 1680 gal
