Is 1 G-force normal?
Is 1 G-force normal? A G-force of 1g is equal to the conventional value of gravitational acceleration on Earth which amounts to 9.8 m/s2 (meter per second squared). In other words, it is the force a person (driver, in our case) can experience when they're accelerating or braking.
What does 9 gs feel like?
Under 9 g, you're going to have a very hard time moving your head sideways or backwards, seeing as it feels nine times as heavy as it actually is. When a passenger aircraft takes off and we are suddenly stuck to our seat – that's a force equaling approximately 2 g. Rollercoasters usually only go as far as 4 g.
Is 1 g of force a lot?
A G-force of 1g is equal to the conventional value of gravitational acceleration on Earth which amounts to 9.8 m/s2 (meter per second squared). In other words, it is the force a person (driver, in our case) can experience when they're accelerating or braking.
Can a pilot pull 10 gs?
While commercial flights exert only very minimal positive and negative G-forces on passengers, several orders of magnitude greater are the G-forces experienced by astronauts, fighter pilots and stunt pilots. These types of pilots can experience brief periods of extreme forces of nine and 10 Gs.
