How fast would you have to fall to experience a Negative G while skydiving?



This right here hurt my head! Wait what! hu?

What's the terminal velocity of an 18 lb bowling ball?



What's the cruising speed of a sparrow?

:)


What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

How else would they get to all those deserted islands?


I thought they floated from island and eventually became my rum?

BravestDog -

Negative G - that upward acceleration when someone plants their foot firmly up your ass.

0 G - that floating feeling when you reach the top of your flight

Positive G - From the drop until the moment when your sorry ass hits the ground.



Swing and a miss, B.

Initial impact should result in at least a solid +2G with foot firmly in ass,

Trajectory from apogee and through descent will briefly result in a soothing zeroG until impact with the ground and being confronted with your folly.

Negative G will not be achieved unless someone yanks you back down by your short hairs. Might possibly be recommended in Bravest's case.

Wasn't exactly meant to be taken seriously in here.

Even the one correcting you wasn't right, as 0g will exist even on the way up to the apogee.

When being in orbit around the Earth, you are still experiencing a good percentage (more than 80% at altitude of 400 km) of the Earth gravity and therefore the related centripetal acceleration, this why you are turning or orbiting. However, as you "fall" at the same rate than the vessel (shuttle or ISS...) you just seem to be at 0 G with respect to the vessel. Just a physics precision.

Negative Gs or Neggies is the force generated by a dowward acceleration. When a pilot dives his airplane, he can accelerate faster than the acceleration of the gravity. He can get what we call the "red veil" due to too much blood trying to get upward mainly in his head. Anti Gs coveralls prevent that problem but he helps by contracting neck muscles to keep the blood down as much as possible.
Learn from others mistakes, you will never live long enough to make them all.

I flew on the Vomit Comet (aka Zero G Corps B727) two weeks ago. Good times....for most

At the beginning of the parabola, I'd say a bit of negative but it transitioned to 0.00G. We just hung out in the middle of the plane.

Negative G (he pushed a bit hard over the top and we all sailed to the ceiling:o)

Positive G: After 60 parabolas with subsequent 1.8 G pullouts, we were all ready to get out.
