I have zero understanding on astrophysics, but hope to have help on determining the plausibility of an element to a story, traveling from Earth to Jupiter in four months, increasing acceleration with an orbit around first the Earth then the Sun,
Orbit Earth to increase acceleration of ship max speed from 20,000 meters per second to 57,716 meters per second
Trip to Sun
Seconds in one 30 days 2,592,000
Earth to Sun 149,600,000,000 meters
the ship must reach 57,716 meters per second to travel this distance
Trip to Jupiter
7,776,000 seconds in 90 days
With an average distance the Sun to Jupiter 778,500,000,000 meters
the ship must reach 100,115 meters per second to travel 778,500,000 kilometers
The Question
For a human body to survive, they would be in a gravity compensation chamber, so my question is how many "G"s would the chamber need to accommodate. or am I completely off the boil. :-)Kind Regards
