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 Yard Per Second Squared

1 foot per second squared = 13 yards per second squared

Yard Per Second Squared = Foot Per Second Squared × 13

Example: 5 ft/s² × 13 = 1 23 yd/s²

Reverse Conversion

To convert yards per second squared back to feet per second squared:

  • Remember, 1 yard per second squared equals 3 feet per second squared.
  • To convert 1 23 yd/s² to ft/s², multiply 1 23 x 3, resulting in 5 ft/s².

5 ft/s² is also equal to:

  • 1.524 meter per second squared
  • 0.1554 standard gravity
  • 152.4 gal
