Answer

2g means experiencing twice Earth's normal gravity, or 19.6 m/s² of acceleration. You might feel this briefly in a fast elevator starting upward, on certain roller coasters, or in a sports car accelerating hard. At 2g, a 70 kg person feels like they weigh 140 kg. While uncomfortable and reuiring effort to move, 2g is sustainable for most healthy people for extended periods without special euipment.
