Escape Velocity
« on: June 14, 2018, 03:55:14 PM »
Greetings,
If the escape velocity is 25,020 mph; how can anyone reach that speed without blacking out or being injured?  These are the numbers I found on various websites, including nasa. 25,020 mph = 11,184.941 m/s2 = 1140 g-units.  “Modern pilots can typically handle a sustained 9g (88 m/s2)".  I understand certain variables exist that are not included in these simple equations.  But the numbers are so far apart it seems impossible.  Can someone give me some insight please?

Tell us what you think would cause (1) blackout, or (2) injury.

I don't see how you've gone from a static speed of 25020 mph to an acceleration of 11,184.91 metres per second squared.

The G-force calculator at https://rechneronline.de/g-acceleration/ tells us that going from 0 to 25020mph in one hour yields 0.71G. If the craft takes off from the ground, and reaches escape velocity in, say 20 minutes, even that only yields just over 2G on average.

The ISS goes around at 17k mph. If we assume a craft to have reached this orbital speed, and that it then wants to leave Earth orbit at 25k, and it does this in (say) five minutes, then it would be subject to just under 3G.

Not Flat. Happy to prove this, if you ask me.

Nearly all flat earthers agree the earth is not a globe.

Nearly?

That's what was missing from the basic converters I found online, time.  Thank you for the link.

Just to add to this...on another perspective.

If we go by FE'ers, then everyone on earth would have blacked out very long back. (Universal acceleration)

This is simply incorrect. Even your RE friends will tell you that.

Huh? 1g from acceleration and 1g from gravity is completely indistinguishable.
