How many G-forces does the driver experience?!

[–] nyoooom@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Looks like 10.65g, which is quite a lot but probably sustainable for a very short period of time and with training

EDIT: I'M FUCKING WRONG AND USED m/s INSTEAD OF km/h

[–] too_high_for_this@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Not even close.

100km/h = 27.8 m/s

27.8 m/s ÷ .956 s = 29.1 m/s^2

29.1m/s^2 ÷ 9.8m/s^2 = 2.96G

Ah shit you're right, I probably used 100m/s instead of km/h, makes so much more sense

Not sure that the acceleration curve is straight line, but because time is less than a second, it might not make that much difference to g-forces.
