  1. newtonian mechanics - What is G-Force? - Physics Stack Exchange

    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, …

  2. 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 …

  3. How does $g$-force work? - Physics Stack Exchange

    May 21, 2024 · TLDR: "G-force" does not mean "force." It means "acceleration." The "g" in "g-force" tells you the scale: The acceleration that you feel when you stand still on Earth's surface …

  4. 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) …

  5. 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 …

  6. 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.

  7. The $g$-force of common objects hitting the floor

    Mar 31, 2015 · 2) The term 'G force' is a cool sounding term us novices associate with fighter jets, but high g forces can be generated easily by common objects falling insignificant heights.

  8. Where does the "g" force that pilots experience come from?

    I understand that it has to do with acceleration. Say a pilot does a quick maneuver and experiences a force of 5g. What exactly is happening here? And what is this force relative to? …

  9. 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 …

  10. 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 …
