  2. g-force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-force

    In the same way, a negative-g force is an acceleration vector downward (the negative direction on the y axis), and this acceleration downward produces a weight-force in a direction upward (thus pulling a pilot upward out of the seat, and forcing blood toward the head of a normally oriented pilot).

  3. Acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceleration

    If the speed of the vehicle decreases, this is an acceleration in the opposite direction of the velocity vector (mathematically a negative, if the movement is unidimensional and the velocity is positive), sometimes called deceleration [4] [5] or retardation, and passengers experience the reaction to deceleration as an inertial force pushing ...

    A force does negative work if it has a component opposite to ... This means that there is ... The relation between the net force and the acceleration is given ...

  5. Cant deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cant_deficiency

    In that case, the resultant force (aggregate gravitational and centrifugal force) exerts on the outside rail more than the inside rail, in which it creates lateral acceleration toward the outside of the curve (which could lead to tipping or derailing). In order to reduce cant deficiency, the speed can be reduced or the superelevation can be ...

  6. Negative energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_energy

    The negative-energy particle then crosses the event horizon into the black hole, with the law of conservation of energy requiring that an equal amount of positive energy should escape. In the Penrose process , a body divides in two, with one half gaining negative energy and falling in, while the other half gains an equal amount of positive ...

  9. Inertial frame of reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_frame_of_reference

    Assuming Candace's acceleration is constant, what acceleration does Betsy measure? If Betsy's velocity v is constant, she is in an inertial frame of reference, and she will find the acceleration to be the same as Alfred in her frame of reference, a in the negative y -direction.
