It is said that a spinning space station could simulate gravity. Why wouldn’t you just be hovering inside a spinning compartment?
In: Physics
Centripetal force(actually change in angular momentum).
Objects in motion will stay in motion so when you drag yourself up to speed with the rotating space station your body will want to continue going in a straight line, because the hull of the ship is in the way you will continuously be pressed into the side of the ship giving the sensation of gravity.
