Introduction:
Gravitational forces are always holding you, from the ride you take at the show in a roller coaster, to the time when a plane takes off. Forces acts on a body through an acceleration or gravity, informally described
…show more content…
Well G-force stands for either the force of gravity on a particular extraterrestrial body or the force of acceleration anywhere. (What is G Force, 2010) So what are the effects that it implicants on the human body? Well, there are two different G-forces that have to be taken into effect “Horizontal axis G-force” and “Vertical axis G-force”, both have a very different g-force range and effects to the body.
It is common knowledge that fighter pilots pull in large Gs, but when the pilot is experiencing the g-forces from above it has different consequences than the G-forces coming from the ground. The more Gs that a person gets from above (the person moving up) will result in the blood moving downwards to his/her feat, otherwise called a g-LOC (g-Induced Loss Of Concentration) (when they are in a seated or standing position). The average person can endure 5g from an upward g-force (49m/s^2), While modern pilots can handle 9g (88m/^2) sustained. (Human Tolerance of vertical Axis G Force,

This is suspected to be because the capillaries (Any vessel that networks between arterioles and venules vessels) in the eye burst and release blood. The typical amount of g-force the a person can take, in these standards are, -2, -3g (-20m/s^2, -30m/s^2) (Human Tolerance of vertical Axis G Force, 2010).

What about when the force of the G-force comes horizontally? The G-force on a human horizontally has been broken up into two categories (left, right) eyes in, eyes out. Eyes in is when is the G-forces push the body back, it has a high tolerance level around 17g. Eye balls out has a 12 g rating because the blood vessels in the retina are more sensitive when the g-forces act on them. (Human Tolerance of Horizontal Axis G Force, 2010)
Body Paragraph 2-Science
So now that we know a little about G-Forces, how do we calculate the g-force, and what is the science behind

Gravity will cause you to reach the speeds you do, because it will make your freefall give you the maximum kinetic energy. Also, when you are experiencing freefall, you will feel 0 G Force, but when you go around a turn, you feel a few G Force.

    Angle-closure glaucoma is defined as an obstruction of the flow of aqueous humor in the eye due to the iris and trabecular meshwork being too close together which creates a closed angle where 270 degrees or more of the angle is occluded.1 Occlusion of the angle causes the intraocular pressure (IOP) to elevate. Optic nerve damage can occur if IOP is greater than 40 mmHg and permanent vision loss can occur if an individual's IOP is greater than 60 mmHg.2 The incidence of angle-closure glaucoma is variable but it is seen more frequently in individuals of Inuit, Chinese, and Asian-Indian descent. In the United States, only a small number of individuals with glaucoma suffer from angle-closure glaucoma. Most individuals with angle-closure glaucoma…

    The aim of this experiment was to investigate which technique – out of gravimetric analysis and colourimetry – was the most appropriate and accurate method to practice when calculating the percentage yield of a reaction. When examining the data obtained from the investigation, there was evident that there were some trends in the results. For the three graphs showcasing the results for gravimetric analysis in task one and task two, there was no general pattern. This was due to the fact that in Graph 1, the actual yield was a portion larger than the theoretical yield, while in Graph 3, the opposite results were obtained and in Graph 4, the actual yield was significantly higher than the theoretical yield. Nonetheless, the outcome of no general…

    Glaucoma is an ocular disease which destroys the optic nerves in the eye due to an increase in the intraocular pressure. This disease is the second most common cause of blindness in the world and Canada (Noertjojo et al. 2006), and the most prevalent form of the disease is Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG). It is estimated that by 2020, there will be almost 80 million people in the world with both primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and angle closure glaucoma (ACG) with POAG more prevalent. Similarly, bilateral blindness as a result of glaucoma is projected to be greater than 11 million by 2020 (Cook and Foster 2012). POAG is a slow and progressive eye disease, asymptomatic in its early stages and regarded as a silent condition which sneaks-up and steals the sight of an individual if not detected and managed promptly.…

    Relativity does not analyze gravity in terms of forces and acceleration as in Newtonian physics. Instead it explains gravity in terms of the geometry of spacetime. Space time is a very difficult concept to visualize. It is made up of the three positionaxes, x, y and z, but also includes the dimension of time. It is the fourth axis of time that makes spacetime difficult to conceptualize.…
