what r "g"s?

Question

like in a air plane u can pass out from to many gs wut r they???

Answer 1

Yes, "g's" are g-forces. On the ground just standing there you are experiencing 1 g. When you get a force applied to you, such as accelerating in a car or plane or roller coaster, you are experiencing more than 1 g. The amount of acceleration will determine the amount of g's. On a roller coaster or airplane when you feel like you are coming up out of your seat, you are experiencing less than 1 g.

Answer 2

One G is the force of Earth's gravity -- it is this force that determines how much we weigh.

I find it easier to explain and easier to relate to others by using a car as an example.

At 5 Gs, a driver experiences a force equal to five times their weight. For instance, during a 5-G turn, there are 60 to 70 pounds of force pulling your head to the side.

When a car goes around a turn, it accelerates the whole time (this is why, when you make a turn in your own car, you feel a force pulling your body toward the outside of the car).
The amount of acceleration is equal to the velocity of the car squared divided by the radius of the turn: A = v2 / r

If you ever see a nascar race or an actual track you will see that the turns are banked (sloped around 24 degrees or more or less). The reasons for the steep turns is to keep the cars on the tracks due to the amount of G's being placed on the car as it enters the turn.

Answer 3

Gravitaional Forces. They are pulled when a airplane is turning or going upwards at a high force. For example, if you are pulling 1 g, you are 1 times the weight you normally are.

Answer 4

Having found out what G is from the other answers, let me add that G is a result of inertia, the reluctance of the subject's body to change its course of moving in a straight line.

Answer 5

It is a mesurement of force.
1G is the normal force felt on earth by gravity on a stationary object and is the basis for this mesurement system.

.5g would be 1 half the force felt by earths gravity while 2g would be double the force.

if you are holding an object that weighs 10lbs. in a 2g environment it would feel like it weighs 20lbs.

Answer 6

To put it plainly when you are on like a rollercoaster and you go down a hill and you feel yourself getting pushed back into your seat and your head feels like there is pressure on it those are Gs and they can actually knock you out if there are enough/

Answer 7

a "g" is equal to the force you experience while on the ground. a "g" stands for gravity. Eg. if you were 50kg on the ground and they said you feel 3g's on the airplane they mean you feel like you weigh 150kg, that is, three times the force of regular gravity. It's theorised that a human can only survive up to 100g's. If they experience more than 100g's they can die instantaneously

Answer 8

G stands for gravity. When some one says pulling 3G's, thats 3 times your weight in gravity.

Answer 9

G is short for g-forces. G-forces are the equivalant gravitational forces put on the body.

Answer 10

1 g = your weight
soo 5 g would be , your weight x 5
when your body experiences g, your blood gets pulled down from your brain, so you faint
