Gravitational Force

2006-11-22 18:00:42 · answer #1 · answered by ShashiSG 2 · 1 0

One G = the pulling force of normal earth gravity. It's a measure of acceleration/deceleration used mainly when talking about forces applied to the human body, because it gives a better estimation of how those forces feel. For example, under 5 Gs, a person who weighs 200 pounds would feel like they weigh 1000 pounds.

Force is a cause that changes the kinetic state. Force is capable of changing velocity in direction or magnitude. Now “g” is an acceleration, the acceleration of gravity. Due to gravity you experience a constant acceleration of 9.8m/s^2. this is the acceleration. The g force is not 9.8 for god’s shake. The g force is responsible for this acceleration. Now if there are forces present that can are stronger and more intense that gravity itself and their magnitude is capable of giving acceleration of multiple “g” then we are talking about g forces. Multiples of either 1 or two or even -1 or -2 like in a formula 1 car when a driver brakes from 270km/h to 80km/h

So g forces are responsible for sudden acceleration or deceleration or a sudden change in direction. (like when the formula car is on a tigh turn and although its speed remains the same there are g forces from the sides due to change of direction)

The normal units of acceleration are m/sec^2. However, acceleration can be expressed as a multiple of the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the earth. That value is called "g" and equals 9.8 m/sec^2. To express an accleration a in terms of g, you compute a/g, and the result is called "g's". So an astronaut in a rocket in free space that is accelerating at 19.6 m/sec^2 is accelerating at 2 g's. The force he feels is twice the pull of gravity on earth. If he stands on a scale, he will weigh twice as much as on earth.

g force has two meanings:
>> The gravitational attraction of the Earth:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceleration_due_to_gravity

>> As a relative measurement of force, particularly applied to vehicles; a 9-g turn for a fighter imposes 9 times the force of gravity on a pilot and his plane.

How many forces of gravity are exerted on an object. If you are expeiencing 2 "Gs" you have 2 times the gravity at sealevel that is exerted on us. We are constantly experiencing 1 "G" on earth.

'g force' is gravitational force exerted by the earth on any body in the earth's surrounding within a certain range .

It is the force or gravity at the surface of the earth, measured at about 9.8 meters per second per second.

Well ther is a fruit snack made by gushers called g force, there may be another g force though

When you ride in a machine it pushes you, the faster you go, the harder it pushes and the more G's you feel. A human can take like seven G's before they get knocked out. G = GRAVITY.
