Re: "G force" for Dummies

OK, students, now consider the case where both the object being dropped and the surface it's dropped upon do not yield. That is, reduce the distance in which it decelerates from 1 cm to zero.

What kind of G force does the object endure then? What becomes the limiting factor?

(All you engineers and physics teachers out there, shhhh...)
