The fact that your units are units of acceleration proves the guys point, no?

It sounded like the guy meant the 1700km/h is a velocity, not an acceleration, which is why we don't feel the force of acceleration.

I was pointing out that spinning is acceleration, just in this case we can't feel it due to other forces.
