(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

Acceleration only equals gravity when in a free fall.

Humans cannot really feel acceleration or velocity. We can feel a change in acceleration called jerk. We can feel this for a number of reasons, one of which is that your organs move.
