      Yes, that is the speed you’re going, then the acceleration you experience due to the change in direction as the earths surface revolves about an axis is a = v²/r. R being the radius of the earth. This gets us our small acceleration value.

      You do experience this small acceleration as a very small reduction in weight. You actually weigh more at the poles than the equator. You don’t feel the velocity at all, as the whole planet is moving with you.
