19. What do the forces of gravity (g-forces) feel like? (A K2S Question)

If you have ever ridden a roller coaster then you have experienced positive g-forces. G's make you feel heavy, like you do at the bottom of a hill on a roller coaster. Negative g's make you feel light and give you that funny feeling in your stomach similar to that at the crest of a hill on a roller coaster.
