This is a compilation of accelerations of different magnitudes for comparison purposes. The information is often to be understood as “typical values”; the converted values are rounded.
Acceleration in an Earth-Fixed System. For many technical applications, a reference system connected to the earth's surface is approximately an inertial system, since the apparent forces are negligible.
Acceleration in free fall with no drag near the surface of the earth. This achieves a speed of 100 km / h in 2.83 seconds.
10 m / s 2
Acceleration of the ball in the shot put in the push-off phase.
10 m / s 2
Average deceleration when a car brakes fully. This value applies to all well-damped wheeled vehicles with sufficiently effective brakes, if the friction of rubber on concrete or worn asphalt (both dry and clean) is the limiting link in power transmission and the vehicle is too high in terms of angle in relation to the front contact point (45 ° for a = - g) does not set up and tip over like a racing bike. And this value also applies as the limit value for lateral acceleration under the same conditions.
