Don't snowmobiles and jet-skis do 0-100 in a couple of seconds? Why don't they provoke this kind of reaction?

- soco 3y ago3g on your body, you need a very good grip on that jetski handle...
- quickthrower2 3y agoYeah guess that would require elite athleticism!
- woofcat 3y agoA quick google shows snowmobiles are doing 0.5 G vs 3G.
- dinkblam 3y agothere is a huge difference between accelerating to 100 km/h in 1 or in "a couple" of seconds. given constant acceleration (which is unlikely, first you are traction limited by the tyres, then the highest acceleration, then slow dropoff), accelerating to 100 in 1 second would mean pulling 2.8g, while for 4 seconds it would only be 0.7g.
- lathiat 3y agoI think you’re wrong there. There are snow mobiles that do 0-100 in 1-3 seconds but they are all crazy special built machines like this. 4-6+ seconds is much more typical for a normal unit. Which is similar to normal-ish 200kW sports cars. A bit fast but not breath taking.
