Say I wasn't being propulsed, but just moving at ten thousand miles per second in a complete vaacum in space, would i feel the G forces or would I just be moving very quickly forward?

  1. NO,. Not unless you stuck your head out the window


  2. No

  3. If you were drifting along at a constant speed, it would be as if you and your spacecraft were like a single object.

    You wouldn't feel it.

  4. G force is basically a reaction force.  So you would not feel a thing until you banks at a turn, accelerates or decelerates.

    Newton's laws of motion:

    1) Object at rest stays at rest

    2) Object in motion remains in motion at constant velocity until acted upon by another force

    3) For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

  5. Technically yes, but it would be negligible. Even when you are "weightless in space while orbiting a body you are still subject to gravity, but you feel weightless because you are actually falling towards the same rate that you are orbiting it.

    Technically you are feeling gravitational forces from everything in the universe at all times, but as distance increases the force decreases.

    The force of gravity exerted on an object is solved by the equation

    F=(Gm₁m&#8322)/r²

    explained

    G= Gravitational constant of 6.67x10 to the -11th.

    m₁= Mass 1, or Earth this?

    m₂= Mass 2, or you in this ?

    r= the radius between the center of mass 1 and mass 2.
