Thank you very much - not trying anything at home. I am taking this opportunity to learn more about physics which is interesting to me.

Interesting! I think that finally answers my question. If I understand then, if the concussion threshold were to be 20g, then the formula to determine how much "space" needed to protect your brain would be; X = (v^2) / 2a = 400 / 1.5^2 = 0.005625 meters. Am I close? Again I want to state that...

How can a 5g hit cause a concussion?

Haha I just want to make sure that I didn't get a concussion! Even though the doctor said I was fine I want to double check with science / math. Thank you for the help everyone :)

Thank you so much. Out of curiosity, if I were to be experiencing a free fall and I fall on my head (assuming I’m 84kilos), how far would I have to fall in order to experience 35 gs of force?

Thank you for the response - no bump! This is purely an academic question since the doctor said I was fine. I did have a slight headache after so I wanted to know the force that my hit resulted in. How much is 80N converted to G-force? If this calculation is not possible, is there a way to...

Thank you so much for your help! Approximate how many g force would that be?

Yeah this is purely academic / four my own curiosity - I am not seeking medical advice (doctor said I was fine). I would say I got up about 2 m / s (I was in a hurry). Does this help provide information about the hit? Thank you for your time

Thank you for the reply - initial position between impact and stationary was 55 centimeters. The angle is hard to say but I hit the very top of my head, and the acceleration was 1 meter per second. Does this help provide some type of approximation?

I sought medical help and they said I was fine - I just want to understand better if there's an approximation of the force received by the blow. Is there any information I can (at least try to) give you to help find a range of force that was delivered?

Hi, I just hit my head on the top of my car door as I was leaving my car; the hit hurt my head a lot and I am worried that I received a concussion. However, I read that most concussions require more than 65 Gs of force to be classified a concussion which is why I am wondering if someone here...
