stroke on park rides?

[Guest guest]

G-forces=the force of

gravity pushing or pulling something. When a jet pilot or astronaut

launches fast his skin pulls back from his face, his heart beats faster, and

blood goes faster. The same thing happens on a fast car or a park thrill

ride.

Definitions

of G-force on the Web:

An

inertial force usually expressed in multiples of terrestrial gravity.

Forces

compared to one gravity; when, for example, a fuze is subjected to a force of

13 g's, a single component of the fuze parallel to the direction of the force

weighs 13 times as much as it does when the fuze is at rest. G-forces can be

used to arm or fire fuzes. See also " set back force " .

A

physical force equivalent to one unit of gravity that is multiplied during

rapid changes of direction or elevation.

Unit

of measurement used to describe ôlateralö acceleration generated

while the vehicle is driven in a steady state turn on a skid pad circle. An

average sedan generates 0.60 G of lateral acceleration. Measured in

" gravities " , one G equals the earth's gravity at sea level.

a

unit of force equal to the force exerted by gravity; used to indicate the force

to which a body is subjected when it is accelerated

Hi Cheryl, oh good, your last seizure was so long

ago.

Thanks, I know I have it bad.

What are G-forces, if I may ask?

micha.

Scientists have said that the G-forces on the new rides now

are giving people strokes, even young people. I love rollicosters!
