To get a rough idea of the numbers if this was a rail gun and accelerating linearly:
1G is 32 feet/second
32 feet /second is ~22 mph
They're accelerating to 5000mph so they need to crush things at 1G for ~230 second or just under 4 minutes.
If I understand correctly, this would hold for angular acceleration too, since they'd just release at some point.
Can someone correct me if I'm wrong?
