in some sci-fi seares(,Anime,TV moves,ect) the aceleration factors are stated in G's(ie in the gundam serares the suits have a 2g aceleration but what dose this mean?
dose it mean that a unit puling 3.12 G's is acelerating at the rate of 100 feet per second of is it some thig else

Re: Aceleration factors
1 g is defined as the acceleration an object is falling towards Earth ( at height "zero" ). It's roughly 9.81 m/s^2.Lt. Nebfer wrote:in some sci-fi seares(,Anime,TV moves,ect) the aceleration factors are stated in G's(ie in the gundam serares the suits have a 2g aceleration but what dose this mean?

Re: Aceleration factors
The acceleration on Earth's surface due to gravity is 9.8m/s^2. Therefore, from a human standpoint, one G of acceleration is equal to 9.8m/s^2.Lt.

Assuming we are comparing it to Earth's gravity, and not Jupiter's, then yes. Remember though that the derived unit for acceleration is m/s^2, or ft/s^2. ft/s is the derived unit for velocity.dose it mean that a unit puling 3.12 G's is acelerating at the rate of 100 feet per second of is it some thig else
The most basic assumption about the world is that it does not contradict itself.
