Nope. G is a universal constant that applies to all physical objects on earth. The product of an object's mass (m) and G will result in the object's weight, which is just the gravitational pull on the object (the force of gravity). G has the same unit as acceleration. See Newton's second law of motion.

Yes.


What is a G?

a G is the force due to gravity. 2G would be twice the force due to gravity. Astronauts have to withstand multiple G when leaving the Earth's atmosphere.

The force of attraction between masses is called gravitional force or gravity


How are forces related to gravity?

force is related to gravity by its mass (m) times the acceleration of gravity (g) F =mg


While in a Zero-G environment is there any opportunity to experience G-Force caused by ambient gravity?

g-forces are not caused by gravity. yes, g-force can be experienced in zero-g. just ride a centrifuge.


What is the meaning of the word geforce?

According to the dictionary, a G-force is the result of acceleration of gravity. G-force is a unit of force equal to the force exerted by gravity and is used to tell the force a body is being subjected to when its accelerated.


What is a car's g-force?

There are accelerating G's, Braking G's and cornering G's. It is the force in that direction the car and occupants are exposed to. 1 G is the for of gravity.


Does a rock falling from a cliff have a constant acceleration?

Yes. Every body that is falling, (if there is no other force then the gravity force) will fall in constant acceleration. Mass does not affect the acceleration of the body. According to Newton's second law: F=m*a m*g=m*a g=a F= Force m= mass a= acceleration g= gravity acceleration m*g= the force of gravity


What does the g in g-shock stand for?

So the G is most likely Gravity as is the G in G-Force. They were designed to take a bit more punishment than other watches, hence the name: G for gravity, Shock, meaning it can absorb impact


What is the gravity on the man?

The force of gravity on a man is his mass(m) in kg multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity(g). On the surface of the Earth, g = 9.8 m/s2F = mg


What is a force beginning with G that pulls something together?
