What does a force of 5g means to an astrnaut if he often refer to forces as multiples of the forces of gravity on earth's surface during space flight?

This means that during space flight the astronaut is feeling a force which is 5 times that of gravity, therefore the astronaut is being pulled five times as much as he is standing on the planet

What is the theory of the acceleration due to gravity?
During a fee fall, when there is no normal force to resist the force of gravity, the body's acceleration is the same as the force of gravity 9.8m/s-2
What are 2 forces are present during liftoff of a rocket?
gravity and lift
When was the anti-gravity suit invented?
The Anti-Gravity suit was invented in 1941 during World War 2. Wilbur Franks invented it.
What force is most responsible for the pathe of an object during projectile motion?
gravity
How do planes fly if gravity pulls everything to the centre of the earth?
The air flowing over the aerofoil shape of the wings creates lift. The upper surface of the wing is longer than the under surface. This creates a pressure difference and the wing moves upwards to try to equalize these pressures. When the lifting force is greater than the weight of the plane plus gravity trying to keep it on the ground it lifts off. Also the angle of attack into the wind during take off also acts in the same way that a moving surfboard keeps the surfer skimming on the surface of the ocean but as soon as he slows down he sinks.
Why does the materials thrown upward during meteorite collisions fall back to the moon's surface?
Our Earth's only Moon enjoys a fraction of the Earth's gravity - there is some gravity there.
What are some effects of gravity upon astronauts during a shuttle launch?
they are all in orbit so when they come to the surface of the earth they feel nausia
Are gravity pulls stronger or weaker during a spring tide?
gravity is always pretty much the same (9.81 m/s^2 downward acceleration) wherever you are on earth, unless you are several kilometers above or below the surface.
Will gravity last forever?
Gravity is a force that lasts only when the mass/ body that supports it exists. Earth has a magnetic field, as you may know already, and it is caused by the movement of minerals underneath the surface. Once Earth's "lifetime" comes to an end, the earth will erupt. During this time, the Earth's "body" will no longer exist therefore, gravity will disappear.
Planet 1 has a stronger gravity than planet 2. On which one does time run faster?
If the surface gravity of planet 1 is greater than the surface gravity of planet 2, and all other factors are the same (rotational velocities, etc), then time will pass more quickly as recorded by a precise clock on the surface of planet 2.
Is there gravity in India?
There is gravity everywhere in the universe. So, if India is somewhere in the universe, then there is gravity there. This is a big part of the reason that people in India are able to walk around during the day, and stay on their beds during the night.
How does from an earthquake reach Earth's surface?
energy reachs earth surface through seismic waves: P waves S waves and Surface waves
What is max or min the acceleration due to gravity experienced by Surface to Air Missile during the flight?
The acceleration due to gravity is almost constant during the entire flight. A minimal difference is found due to altitude, the further away from the center of the earth, the less the gravitational acceleration, so in a SAM the point when the missile is at it's greatest altitude will have the lowest gravitational acceleration component.
What controls the flow of water during an enema?
gravity
Who was involed during the fall of the Berlin Wall?
Gravity
Does a liquid have a define shape?
Usually, a liquid does not have a predetermined or definite shape. It will take on the shape of the container it is in or surface it is on.The only extenuating circumstance is during free-fall, or where there is negligible or no gravity - it will be become almost spherical, held together by surface tension.
Where to where do particles move during diffusion?
Movement is completely random during diffusion.
