Consider your average cow suddenly accelerating
0 to 60 in 2 seconds...

0-60 in 2.74 seconds is 1G
0-60 in 2 seconds is 1.37G
0-60 in 1 second is 2.74G

v = at
60 mph = a(2 sec)
a = 60 mph/2 sec = 44 ft/sec2 ~ 1.4 g

“How many Gs does such acceleration produce on the driver.”


60 mph in 2 s = 27 m/s in 2s = 13.5 m/s^2 = 1,35 g (1g = 10 m/s^2). Not that much g in fact.
