Answer 1

Okay, Here is my experience

I have experienced maximum radial acceleration at an amusement park while taking a ride on a roller coaster which had a top speed of around 110 km/h. The roller coaster had a large circular section just after a big vertical drop. The radius of the circular section was about 75 m . It was huge. The speed increased drastically at the end of drop and coaster entered the big loop with increased loop and completed the loop with a lot of adrenaline rushing and gushing in.

Here, Let's find out actually how much radial acceleration did I experience.

a = v² / r

where v is velocity and r is radius

v = 110 km/h = 30.555 m/s

so,

a = 30.555² / 75

a = 12.448 m/s²

and in terms of g's

a = 12.448 / 9.8

a = 1.27 g's

this is a good amount of g's . Remember, there is limit of how many g's we can sustain .
