What does picometer per square second measure?

It measures acceleration at extremely small scales, such as atomic or nanoscale movements, representing the rate of change of velocity per second squared on a picometer scale.

Can this conversion be used for large-scale accelerations?

No, picometer per square second is intended for very small acceleration measurements, and applying the conversion directly to macroscale systems is not appropriate without contextual scaling.
