How much acceleration is 5 ft/s²?

5 ft/s² (0.155g) is a mild acceleration — comparable to a city bus pulling away from a stop or normal walking pace increase.

Did you know? Moon gravity is 1.62 m/s².

Lunar gravity is 1.62 m/s² — about 1/6 of Earth's. Astronauts could jump 6x higher on the Moon.

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: 5 ft/s² × 0.031081 = 0.1554 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 0.1554 g to ft/s², multiply 0.1554 x 32.174, resulting in 5 ft/s².

5 ft/s² is also equal to:

  • 1.524 meter per second squared
  • 152.4 gal
About these units
