G-force Definition and 59 Threads

Hello... If an object weighs 4500kg and travels @ 5kph (138cm/s) then stops in 15cm: what is Gforce? Decceleration? Also, if object was stopped via a collision and if contact face is 100cmx15cm then what is impact force kg/sq.cm? This information is really important to me for a...

Testing of Impact Sensor--Verify G-Force Readings I'm thinking either free fall test or pendulum but I was just curious if anyone could suggest an easier method We are looking for a way to test a newly developed impact sensor and verify that we when it says it has been hit with 5 g's for...

1. If I measure the acceleration of an object every 1 second, I will have a g-force which I can use formula 1 to convert into meters per second per second. Therefore I know from the result of this formula how much the object has accelerated/de-accelerated in the last second. If however I wish...

hi..just discovered this forum..very nice indeed..i was wondering if somebody could help me on something here..imagine that a car is traveling at 50km/h through a 90-degree right-hand turn..my question is is there any mathematical relation relating how much the g-force he encounters and the...

I read that a spaceship can reach 5,100g in space. Is there a way to determine how many kilometers per hour this would be? As I understand it, the only way to feel g force is to be accelerating. The acceleration should slow down as speed increases and eventually stop so there would be 0g at...

Hello, I am new here, and finally i found a forum where i can ask all the things i have wondered (and discussed) about! I do not know so much about physics laws and such, but i find it very interesting. I have a few question i really want answer to. Well, i will ask one here now: How many G's...

I've been pondering this in my tiny mind for a couple of minutes, but I can't figure it out.. 1. Can a person experience G-Forces in space? so...if I'm accelerating in space, do i feel a g-force? SO...if we do feel g-forces, then even if technology allowed for (say .5c ) travel, it might...

hi guys if you have an aluminium sphere of volume 0.006 metres cubed, how do you find the gravitational force acting on the sphere, as well as its acceleration (ignoring water resistance) Also, if your given the area and velocity of a fluid at two points of hose, how can you find the...

What is the g force (anomaly) of the sun? I tried to calculate this one using Newton's equation. I did this: [(6.67 * 10^-11)(2 * 10^30)]/(0.7 * 10^6) Where F = GM/r^2 ( I think), but I got 272244898, which seems really wrong. I can't find it anywhere online and I'm trying to figure out...
