acceleration due to gravity
Yes. The number of 'G' in an acceleration is the acceleration in [ meters per second2 ] divided by 9.8Or the acceleration in [ feet per second2 ] divided by 32.2
An accelerometer is used to measure proper acceleration. This is the acceleration felt by people and objects. Such accelerations are measured in terms of G-Force.
G-force is a measure of acceleration, not of speed; one G is the equivalent acceleration to one normal Earth gravity. 9 Gs is equal to nine times the force of gravity, and the object weighs nine times as much - it is enough to make all but the most experienced and well trained fighter pilots to blackout.
Weight is a force. It is described as the gravitational force acting on an object. It is measured in newtons. If you are thinking of the mass (measured in kilograms for instance) then you multiply by the acceleration due to gravity. Weight = g x mass.
Depends on the person, most would black out when going at 3 or 4 G.============================================Answer #2:"3G" and "4G" are not speeds, and speed doesn't cause anyone to black out.Speed imposes no stress on the body at all.Stress is imposed by CHANGE in speed. Speeding up, slowing down, or rounding a curve too drastically. Those changes are called "acceleration", and can be measured in 'G's.The correct question is: How many Gs of acceleration will cause you to black out ?

The acceleration of gravity, g, is measured in units of acceleration, which is to say units of distance per time squared. For example, meters per second squared.

Weight is measured in kg wt which equals to g newtons. g - acceleration due to gravity at that place.

Weight = Mass * Acceleration due to Gravity. In the SI system, Mass is measured in kilograms, g, the acceleration due to gravity, is normally taken to be 9.8 (or 9.81) ms-2, and Weight is measured in Newtons.
U = m g h Where U is Gravitational Potential Energy (measured in Joules) m is Mass (measured in kilograms) g is Gravitational Acceleration (~9.8 meters/second2) h is height (measured in meters)
G-force is short for gravitational force and is not technically a force. Instead, it is a measurement of acceleration, that is force per unit mass. It is generally measured in terms of the acceleration of free-fall, that is acceleration due to gravity.
In Newtons, which are Kilogram meters per second, or Km/s2. It is measured as a force. It is also common to refer to the acceleration of gravity or "g" and describe it merely as an acceleration, since the gravity of an object accelerates all other objects at the same rate (if the distances involved are about the same). 'g' is almost always defined by earth's gravitational acceleration at it's surface, of 9.8KG/s2, and is used as the standard unit.
Newton's Law F = m * a Force is a product of mass and acceleration Weight is a special case of Newton's Laws W = m * g Weight is a product of mass and the acceleration due to gravity. Weight, W, is in Newtons (N) mass, m, is in kilograms (kg) g = 9.81 m/s²
When we say "number of g forces" the g we are typically (not always) talking about is the average overall Earth of around g = 9.81 N/kg or m/sec^2 (See NOTE) So, for example, if a jet jock pulls 2 g's in a hairy vertical climb, he's pulling 2g = 19.62 N/kg on his body. And if his mass is m = 100 kg, that means his effective weight is W = m(2g) = 1962 Newtons. Bottom line. g forces are measured as the number of average g's. NOTE: N/kg = kg.m/sec^2//kg = m/sec^2 which is to say they are equivalent units.
