'G" forces of Usain Bolt??

[trashie]

For all aviation and science theory experts, if someone was being towed by Usain Bolt notwithstanding weight and friction etc, what would be the "G" forces experienced during the hundred metres sprint.

[VH-XXX]

Most of his acceleration is in the first few seconds, so not quite as linear as you think it might be.

But could he cope with being strapped into a Pitts / Extra ... and taken through an unlimited routine? :yuk: :ok:

Well, he does 100m in roughly 10seconds.

If he accelerates to full pace of 12m/s in the first second, that's 12 m/s^2.

Gravity is 9.8 m/s^2.

So around 1.2g.

Where is Usane Bolt when I need a push start.

Somewhere in Jamaica, near a sunny beach, on a bed of money surrounded by many beautiful women.
