(Eli5)How come A=G in physics(acceleration=gravity)

Question

I know that we cannot feel velocity we feel acceleration in a car. But why tho?

In: Physics

Answer 1

you can feel it whenever gravity is pulling you down, for example when you are falling or your weight pushing against a chair.
the body is used to having a constant force of 1G pulling it down, so you don’t notice it as much as the much higher sideways acceleration force when accelerating a car for example.
