You're accelerating downward at exactly 1 g, or 32 feet per second per

Yes: -1.0 G.


Zero g is zero g.


You're not actually at zero G. You're in free fall, accelerating with the
aircraft at exactly -1.0 G, which negates the acceleration due to gravity.


Velocity and acceleration are vectors and the sign depends on the
coordinate system you define.

Since you didn't define a coordinate system your use of negative
numbers is just a pile of steaming crap designed to produce an
endless arguement since you know most people would just use the
absolute values when diving towards the Earth as the direction is
understood by everyone not designing their responses to start an
endless ****ing contest to show how smart they are.

If you are accelerlating at 1 G in the direction of the Earth, you
experience a force of 0 G.

If you are accelerlating at -1 G in the direction of the Earth, you
experience a force of 2 G.

If you are accelerlating at 1 G in the direction away from Earth, you
experience a force of 2 G.

If you are accelerlating at -1 G in the direction away from Earth, you
experience a force of 0 G.
