Answer

1 g-force euals 9.8 m/s² of acceleration or 9.8 N/kg of specific force. This is the acceleration you experience standing still on Earth's surface. In terms of feeling, 1g is your normal weight—what you experience every moment. It's used as a baseline: 2g feels twice as heavy, 0.5g feels half as heavy, and 0g is weightlessness.
