What does acceleration g-value mean?

[Julianna]

Acceleration g-value is the unit of gravitational acceleration, with a value of approximately 10 meters per second squared. Here is some relevant information about vehicle speed: 1. Vehicle travel speed: Vehicle travel speed refers to the distance a vehicle travels per unit of time, simply referred to as speed, commonly measured in kilometers per hour or meters per second. 2. Vehicle operating speed: Vehicle operating speed is the average speed during the total duty time of a vehicle (including driving time and stopping time). It is an important indicator for measuring vehicle usage efficiency and transportation efficiency. Its level depends on the vehicle's average technical speed (average speed during driving time) and the amount of stopping time.

The metric I pay most attention to during track days is the acceleration G-force, which physically quantifies the seat-pushing sensation during acceleration. 1G equals an acceleration of 9.8 m/s². A regular family car at full throttle might reach around 0.3G, while supercars can exceed 0.8G. Once when driving a modified car, I measured 0.95G - it felt like being pressed into the seat, making breathing difficult. This value correlates with tires/horsepower/vehicle weight. Note that sustained high G-forces accelerate component wear, so it's best to inspect suspension and axle components after aggressive driving.

Having been involved in car reviews for over a decade, G-force is a must-test item for us. Simply put, it represents the multiple of inertial force felt by the body during acceleration, recorded by professional equipment as longitudinal acceleration. For example, Tesla Plaid's 1.98-second 0-100km/h acceleration corresponds to 1.16G, while a regular SUV might only achieve 0.2G. Tuning enthusiasts often improve G-force through weight reduction, but it's important to note that factory brakes may be insufficient when exceeding 0.5G, necessitating simultaneous upgrades to the braking system.

Last time I took my son to the science museum, we used an interactive device to experience 1G acceleration—equivalent to having a 137-pound weight pressing on the chest. Although the G-force of car acceleration is less than 1G, anything above 0.5G can send a water bottle flying from the back seat. For family cars, it's recommended to maintain a comfortable range around 0.3G, as higher G-forces mean more tire wear. My experience shows that a 0.2Bar change in tire pressure affects acceleration by 0.05G.
