quick q, what does "g forces of 3 - 3"? mean? 3?
sorry, my brain isn't working very well.
why is it 3 - 3?

As good a guess as any.Originally posted by phatmonky
3 positive G Forces, or 3 negative G Forces.
G forces, or gravitational forces, are a measure of the force exerted on an object due to gravity. It is typically measured in multiples of the acceleration due to Earth's gravity (9.8 m/s²).
A g force of 3 means that the object is experiencing a force three times greater than the force of gravity. This can happen during rapid acceleration or deceleration, such as in a roller coaster or when a fighter jet is performing maneuvers.
A g force of 3 can have significant effects on the human body. It can cause discomfort, disorientation, and even loss of consciousness. Pilots and astronauts are trained to withstand higher g forces to avoid these effects.
Yes, g forces can be negative. This usually occurs during deceleration or when an object is falling downwards. Negative g forces can also have effects on the human body, such as causing blood to rush to the head and resulting in a feeling of weightlessness.
G force is typically measured using an accelerometer, which is a device that measures the acceleration of an object. The measurement is often expressed in multiples of the acceleration due to gravity, such as 3g or -2g.
