If the acceleration under gravity (g) is 9.80 m/s2, how many g would you experience if you were fired from Mr. Verne's Moon Cannon?

Humans can stand 15g for a short time and have been known to take momentary accelerations of 46g.

Solution

$${\frac {a}{g}} = {\frac {136750{\frac {m}{s^{2}}}}{9.80{\frac {m}{s^{2}}}}} = 13950.$$

Thus,

$$a = 13950g.$$
