How does G force relate to acceleration?

Question

Explain how a change in G force relates to acceleration?
Physics lab conclusion question I cant figure out.
Thanks for helping.

Answer 1

A g-force is just the equivalent of the acceleration of gravity, used as a rudimentary scale. A g-force is a measure of acceleration. I really don't like how its called a 'force' though, since it does not take mass into account... It is not a force, simply an acceleration... but i guess g-acceleration sounds stupid?

Answer 2

Acceleration G Force

Answer 3

An object will accelerate up to a point but always less than c. On Earth where friction is a component ( sliding,air, water, rolling ) becomes a factor controlling the velocity. The friction will finally equal the force and acceleration will stop.. In outer space ( no friction) a large massive object (neutron) will never exceed the velocity of the exiting propellant. Light which has no mass only exist at the velocity c. An electron which has little mass can travel at velocities of .99 c , but to accelerate above that would take an amount of energy equal to the total nuclear energy of the entire universe. Other partials with less mass than an electron might accelerate to a velocity of .99999 c. but never c.

Answer 4

"G-force" is just a sloppy term to reference accepted Earth gravity of 9.80665 m/s^2. As in, "The fighter pilot is pulling 5g," means that he's experiencing 5x the normal gravitational acceleration ("force of gravity") due to his maneuvering/acceleration.



That's it, nothing special.



"G-force" = 9.80665 m/s^2
