This example will set the Physics to where 1.0 = 1 Metre within the Physics Simulation; as such we can use 9.81 as our Graphics (Y is our Gravity Axis., -9.81 means we want objects to go Down at 9.81m/s).
If we use 1.0 (like you do) then remember the values are how many of those Units / Second are calculated; as such you're working in Centimetres.
Of course, keep in mind that this is "Accurate"., which often isn't ideal for actual gameplay.
Common practise is to reduce this to say 40-60% Scaling., as this slows down the simulation enough for more enjoyable gameplay.
TheGameCreators for example set this to 40% by Default., although *how* they come to this calculation is interesting; by calculating Inches / Metres for 6ft of Distance.
I'd argue this confuses things somewhat... and just look at it as 100 = 100% Speed., 40 = 40% Speed; and as noted for "Comfortable" Gameplay Physics you want it somewhere ~50% real speed.
You can actually change this at anytime; so say you wanted to introduce bullet time like gameplay (like Super Hot) you could say reduce it to 20% or even 10%.
