In Response To: Correction... ()

You are right that kinetic energy equals 1/2 the mass times velocity squared, but it can also be measured as I described in my previous post:

KE = mass x acceleration x distance

KE = mass (in kg) x acceleration (in m/sec2) x distance (in m)

KE = Force x distance

KE = kg x m/sec2 x m = Nm (Newton meter) = Joule of energy

So, kinetic energy can also be expressed in Joules using the formula above. That's the example I gave in my previous post.

My problem with the term "g-forces" is only that people sometimes confuse this with the "g" constant, which is a constant describing the acceleration due to gravity, not a force in and of itself. Mass must be involved for there to be a "force".
