In Apollo 15, the astronauts experienced only a tiny bit over 1 g at liftoff. Throughout the burn of the main engines, the force increases to a maximum of about 4 g's at a couple of minutes into the flight. This is a "max" value, and occurs just before staging occurs. But let's not burn any more time here talking about it. Use the link below to the NASA log of Apollo 15 and look at the actual graph of acceleration. You'll have to scroll down to find it, but it's worth it.

How many pounds in one newton?
In one newton there is 0.224808943 pounds of force, and in a pound of force there are 4.44822162 newtons of force. Note that a Newton is a unit of force, not mass. actually a newton is 0.00571014716277 pounds of force!!
What 3 ways can a force affect an objects motion?
Forces are created in many different ways. . . . . for example strong nuclear force electromagnetic force weak force and gravity
Force is expressed in what unit of measure?
There are many units of force. The standard one in the SI system is the newton. Others include dynes and pounds-force.
What is the force when your trying to push something up called?
There are many types of pushing forces :) here are the names 1. applied force 2. air resistance force 3. gravitational force 4. spring force 5. normal force 6. frictional force 7. tension force 8. hope I helped :) --Hermione Granger:D
When a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force what occurs?
Usually any learner would get a doubt regarding the force acting on a body. There are many situations. 1: If a force constantly acts on a body, then it will be accelerated. So its speed would go on increasing if it starts from rest. 2: If a force acts on a uniformly moving body opposite to the direction of motion, then the speed of the body would go on decreasing and it comes to stop. Yet the force is in action, then the body would get accelerated in the other direction. 3: If a force is applied in such a way that it is balanced by an equal and opposite force, then neither acceleration nor retardation is possible. Yet the body could be got moved through some displacement. In such a case we compute only the amount of work done by that applied force. Examples: a) Lifting a book against its gravitational weight. b) Dragging an object on the floor exerting a force which equals to the force of friction between the object and the floor. Even in the earlier case work is said to be done by the force and that work performed will be available as kinetic energy in the moving system. But in latter case the energy spent would be available as potential energy in case of lifting and heat energy in case of dragging.
How many g's during Apollo?
how many G's of force did Apollo astronauts experience during liftoff
How many g force does the space shuttle pull?
The maximum acceleration that was experienced during normal shuttle liftoff was about 3g. During reentry, astronauts experienced approximately 1.5g.
How many Gs do astronauts endure in take off?
Astronauts experience 3g's which is no problem during takeoff, however during landing the astronauts experience 15 minutes of 3 g forces with weakened cardiovascular systems to to prolonged exposure to microgravity. Their suits however, prevent blackouts.
How many Gs do astronauts experience during space shuttle launch?
Around 4
What branch of the military does an astronaut fall under?
Historically, astronauts were drawn from the ranks of pilots, so most of the current military astronauts are in the Air Force. The Navy and the Marines have also trained astronauts but not as many.
How many astronauts died on the moon?
No astronauts have died on the moon.
How many pounds of thrust does the space shuttle produce during liftoff?
3 million pounds of thrust
How many Apollo astronauts were on the moon?
There were a total of 12 astronauts who walked on the moon.
How many astronauts do you think would fly together in the command module?
Three astronauts
How many astronauts have worked on the moons surface?
Around 12 astronauts have worked on the moon.
How many astronauts have been in the International Space Station?
The astronauts have been aboarding it since 1998.
How many current astronauts?
1000
