What acceleration would you expect a 100 kg individual to experience from a 1000N force?
Does this acceleration seem mild, moderate, or potentially fatal?

a = F/m = 1000 N / 100 kg = 10 m/s² (≈1.02 g, since 1 g = 9.81 m/s²).
Notes on severity:
- In free space that is an acceleration of about one earth gravity — not inherently dangerous for a short, properly supported exposure.
- If the 1000 N force is applied while the person is standing on the ground (i.e. against gravity), the net upward acceleration would be (1000 − 980)/100 ≈ 0.2 m/s² — very small.
- Whether it’s mild, moderate, or dangerous depends on direction, duration, how sudden the force is, and how the force is transmitted to the body. A steady 1 g is routine; a sudden 1 g jerk or a concentrated impact can cause injury. Very large, sustained or high‑frequency g‑loads (many g) can be incapacitating or fatal.
