A drop of just 30cm results in a shock of 500kg! What is the true nature of the G that breaks products?
ShockWatch labels are simple yet highly reliable products that change color when subjected to a certain level of impact.
"G" is a unit of acceleration, where 1G equals the acceleration due to Earth's gravity (9.8 m/s²). This means that experiencing "50G of impact" means that such acceleration is applied all at once. It is a force much greater than one might imagine. For example, if you drop an object from a height of 1 meter, the falling speed is about 4.42 m/s. The impact increases with the weight of the object. If you drop a 10 kg box of oranges from just 31 cm, it experiences an impact of 50G. This calculates to a force equivalent to about 500 kg being applied instantaneously. *For more detailed information, you can view the related links.
