What is G-Force?
{{no sources|date=February 2024}} The '''g-force''' of an object is its [[acceleration]] relative to [[free fall]]. On earth this is 1g, or 9.8 meters per second squared (m/s^2) or equivalently {{val|9.80665}}&nbsp;[[newton (unit)|newtons]] of force per [[kilogram]] of mass (N/kg). [[Astronaut]]s experience unusually high and low g-forces. G-force can also be seen on [[rollercoaster]]s. When the coaster goes down the drop, you are pushed back into your seat because of g-force. Negative g-forces is when gravity is pushing you downwards causing you to feel weightless. (Going down a rollercoaster) Positive g-forces is when gravity is pushing against you causing you to feel heavier. (Going up a rollercoaster) {{physics-stub}} [[Category:Mechanics]]
