Inertia is relative to mass. G-Force is relative to acceleration/speed.
In the case of inertia, let's say you brake when you're speeding. When you brake, it takes time to slow down because of the vehicle's weight. The added amount of weight (mass) in your car (i.e: your luggage, mother, father, sister, brother, grandmother, grandfather, obese cousin in rear seat, etc) will make it harder for your car to slow down when you step on the brake pedal. Inertia is the resistance of an object to the change of speed/motion due to its weight.
In the case of G-Force, it is mostly related to acceleration. there's longitudinal acceleration, lateral acceleration, vertical acceleration, etc. As jasontantenghuat said, turning left causes your body to be pushed to the right. This is lateral acceleration. When you accelerate, you got pushed back in your seat. That's longitudinal acceleration causing G-force.
Hope that helps, & hope I don't sound like a physics teacher

Honk? U sure? I'm on Stebel now. LoL.
Where is restoran bunga emas ah? LoL.. Sounds familiar, thought I saw it somewhere but dono where =.=
8200? What colour?
No, only ron 97 up 10 cents to RM 2.40. Darn it. No more Caltex Techron 97 for me =.=
same color as yours... who else staying at wangsa maju area? can TT at night... huhuIn the case of inertia, let's say you brake when you're speeding.
