Maybe where you are. Here is is 32.2 ft. per second per second. Which is probably why we invented drag racing- acceleration is much quicker in this part of the world.
On a serious note though, I am disappointment we (the US) has not adopted the metric system. While I am comfortable with our system (which is really the UK's 'old' system kept alive on life- support), it is a PIA when switching between industries because the norm. is to use different measurements. Right now, I am in the middle of a house renovation and I simply cannot think in the terms builders use, which are feet and inches (rather than feet with a decimal or just inches alone). Looking at doors and seeing the size as, literally, " 2-4 " just does not make any sense but it means 2 feet plus 4 inches, or 28". The metric system's best feature IMO is that there is only one unit of measure for any given type (i.e., length = meter, volume = liter, etc.). Our system is a mess: 36" = a yard, 5280 feet = mile..... quick, how many yards in a mile? And just to make it worse, we break inches down into divisions of 1/16, 1/8 and so forth as a "standard", which while I am familiar with it and it is second nature in my field, makes absolutely no sense at all, whatsoever. And difficult for the layperson to know how 3/16" and 1/4" relate to each other. And for dessert, we use these fractions to standardize nuts, bolts and screws except for the parts when we do not: a quarter- inch screw is spec.'d as "1/4" plus the thread pitch but a 3/16 screw is spec.'d as..... wait for it..... a #10. So of course a #5 screw must be 1/8", which it is, and an #6 screw.... has no fractional equivalent. It is a mess I tella' ya'.

In short, it accelerates at 10.8 meters-per second, per second.....
