Given the limits of tolerance of sustained G force on the human body, how long would it take, starting at rest, to travel 93M miles? (no need to slow down at arrival) What would the top speed be at this point? Thanks!

First, let me say call it g force. there's a huge difference between G and g. The limits of this g-force only apply when leaving Earth and we have prooven that a human can sustain the forces produced by the 25,000 mph escape velocity needed. From there the fastest possible speed would get you there in about 9 minutes and you would be traveling at .99999999999c, theoretically. There's no g-force in free fall. The space station averages 15.7 orbits per day averaging 17,246.6 mph! HOw's that for a tea cup ride?

sorry for not answering your professors question, but the big problem is tolerance vs realistic. like how long can you sit in a car vs how long can you sit in a car that is going around in circles as fast as it can pushing you to the outside of the cardoor. secondly their are ways to get around human body tolarances of g-force. one of those is to be in a completely liquid solution (remember the movie Abyss) thus you are not compressable, and thus you would feel nothing in acceleration. so if you want to have some fun you could tell your proffessor... about 30 seconds, simply because you want your vehicle to stay intact. you would feel no difference except the sway of the dirrection you were going from initiality. GOOD LUCK. ps just because you have this answer I'd be careful giving it to him,her they may still flunk you for trying to show them up. proffessors want to know everything. +3
