AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the G force exerted on an object with a constant acceleration of 293 m/s². The correct conversion indicates that 1 G equals 9.8 m/s², leading to the conclusion that 293 m/s² equates to approximately 30 Gs. There is a request for the equation to determine G force, which is derived from dividing the acceleration by the acceleration due to gravity. The initial confusion about the calculation is clarified, confirming that 10.5 Gs is incorrect. The final consensus is that 293 m/s² indeed equals about 30 Gs.

This isn't homework but I'd like to varify something. What is the G force exerted on an object if it has a constant acceleration of 293m/s/s?can someone also give me the equation to find out g force. 10.5 Gs just doesn't sound right.

One g = 9.8 m/s^2. So 293 m/s^2 is about 30 g's.
 

Thread 'Why can't Solar panels be hemispherical, or a curved strip type?'

comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...

Thread 'The Physics of unloading sand from a barge'

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
