How many Gs can the body withstand without blacking out?
Designing a roller coaster and need to know G limits:
Laterally?
Positively? (pushing body into seat)
Negatively? (pushing body out of seat)
thanks
I’m pretty sure I heard my physic’s professor say that people black out at 100m/s^2 acceleration (in any direction, an acceleration is an acceleration is an acceleration, and when you have a good acceleration then its good) which is about ten Gs although I’m pretty sure it varies from person to person, and we have developed technologies that can prevent this (think fighter pilots).

What formulas do I use to use for roller coasters physics?
hi, i am designing a roller coaster and need to work out the Forces acting on the body on a roller coaster during a drop, a loop, a corkscrew and as it banks out from a drop
I know it has to do with angular velocity, but I’m not sure if it is?: A = v^2 / r
could anyone help me with all the formulas for: drop, loop, corkscrew and banking from drop please
or give me some links which may help
thanks a lot
Angular Acceleration = V^2/R… make sure its the instantaneous velocity and instantaneous radius at that velocity. You will also need conversation of energy significantly: 1/2MV^2 (initial) + MGH (initial) = 1/2MV^2 (final) + MGH (final). Terms will cancel out during different instants in time. Hope this helps!
