Units of acceleration

unit of acceleration

thumb|In straight and level flight, lift (L) equals weight (W). In a steady level banked turn of 60°, lift equals double the weight (L = 2W). The pilot experiences 2 g and a doubled weight. The steeper the bank, the greater the g-forces. thumb|This Top Fuel dragster can accelerate from zero to in 0.86 seconds. This is a horizontal acceleration of 5.3 g. Combining this with the vertical g-force in the stationary case using the [[Pythagorean theorem yields a g-force of 5.4 g.]]
