G-Force
About “G-Force”:
The g-force or gravitational force equivalent is a mass-specific force, expressed in units of standard gravity .
It is used for sustained accelerations that cause a perception of weight. For example, an object at rest on Earth's surface is subject to 1 g, equaling the conventional value of gravitational acceleration on Earth, about 9.8 m/s2.
More transient acceleration, accompanied with significant jerk, is called shock.
