Is anyone aware of some good links to sites which discuss and explain G-Force? I've searched but haven't come up with anything very worthwhile.Something with practice problems would be great. Thanks!
I would like to know what in the world you are asking. I have never heard of a G-Force, in physics. Is this something from science fiction?
I have an assignment to discuss what scientists are doing to reduce the g forces on astronauts and to come up with a g force problem of my own. Can you help?
This is the force due to an accelerating force, measured in equivalent accelerations compared to Earth Surface.
The cause of the force is changing movement of the spaceship. This force occurs when the spaceship is changing speed or direction. For instance, in orbit, the G-force is zero (because the accelerating force is equal to the acceleration due to gravity, so net acceleration felt is zero).
When a rocket fires retro rockets, the force will be felt.

Thanks to you both!
Sure! To find good links to sites that discuss and explain G-Force, you can follow these steps:
1. Start by using a reliable search engine such as Google, Bing, or DuckDuckGo.
2. In the search bar, type in keywords related to G-Force, such as "G-Force explanation," "G-Force physics," or "G-Force tutorial." Enclose the keywords in quotation marks for more accurate results.
3. Browse through the search results and look for reputable sources such as educational institutions, scientific organizations, or reliable physics websites.
4. Pay attention to the domain names of the websites you find. Look for domains ending in ".edu" for educational institutions or ".org" for reputable organizations, as these sources are usually more reliable and trustworthy.
5. Open and explore the websites that seem to provide the information you are looking for.
6. Look for sections or articles specifically dedicated to explaining G-Force. These sections may provide detailed explanations, diagrams, and examples.
7. To find practice problems related to G-Force, check if the website offers interactive tutorials, quizzes, or downloadable worksheets. Some sites may also provide links to external resources with practice problems.
8. Take your time to browse and evaluate a few websites to find the ones that suit your needs and provide valuable and accurate information.
Remember to critically evaluate the information you find to ensure its accuracy and reliability.
