Horizontal Acceleration measured in g's (m/sec2)
Horizontal Acceleration (measured in g's) is the acceleration that produces the force that pushes you back into the seat (as oopposed to vertical g-force which is the force that pushes you down into the seat). In real life, there are vertical, horizontal, and lateral g-forces.Velocity is the change in position over time. Acceleration is the change in velocity over time. G's can be used to express acceleration. On earth, 1g= produces an acceleration of 9.8 m/sec2 on an object in free fall. To calculate acceleration, find change in velocity, then divide by time. To calculate the horizontal g's, divide acceleration by 9.8 m/sec2.
