A g -force is a force expressed in acceleration units, with associated assumptions to make it "equivalent". Accelerations create forces (either via the gravitational mass or the inertia mass, …
Calculation of the G-force - Physics Stack Exchange
Nov 23, 2010 · The g force is a unit of acceleration. 1 g is equal to 9.80665 m s -2. So the correct formula is $$ \text {G force} = \frac {\text {Acceleration in m s}^ {-2}} {9.8}. $$ However, when …
How does $g$-force work? - Physics Stack Exchange
May 21, 2024 · The term "g-force" is confusing and ambiguous. Quite often g-force is an acceleration, not a force. If someone is measuring g-force in gee's, they're actually measuring …
Where does the "g" force that pilots experience come from?
That force will cause the plane to accelerate unless it exactly balances gravity and drag. Since the the pilot is strapped into the plane he or she feels the force caused by the acceleration of the …
G-force: difference between gravity and acceleration of an object
Dec 2, 2019 · Specifically : 1) why the resulting force is pointing in the same direction for the gravity but in opposite direction for the car and 2) why "accepting" the acceleration results in …
Understanding negative g-force? - Physics Stack Exchange
Jan 31, 2017 · That is, the g-force (gravitational force) acts downwards, acceleration of g. Now the elevator according to your paragraph provides an upward acceleration of -0.5g.
Can a pilot in a small spaceship feel G force in space?
Sep 4, 2015 · The g-force experienced by the pilot's spaceship is no different from that of of the pilot of a fighter plane (on Earth) or a racing car driver (on Earth) with exception of (perhaps) …
How to calculate $g$'s seen by a dropped object upon impact?
Aug 9, 2017 · The object's contact duration is $0.002$ sec (or $2$ ms) It seems that if you use impulse momentum for this problem, mass gets cancelled out but that doesnt make much …
Comparison of G force in space with G force on Earth
Jun 1, 2017 · G force in atmosphere or closer to the earth is felt because the pilot is being pressed against the airplane seat or airplane itself. That force is proportional to the sheer force …
buoyancy - Counteracting g-force - Physics Stack Exchange
Jan 3, 2011 · Is it possible to counter-act g-force for a jet-pilot, by him putting on a scuba-diving suit and filling the cockpit with water? On earth we are constantly pulled down, or accelerated …
