Some Engineers Have Suggested That We Can Simulate Gravity in Outer

Multiple Choice

Some engineers have suggested that we can simulate gravity in outer space by having a circular rotating space station where persons feel an outward - directed fictitious force due to the rotation of the station. The reason they feel such a force is because

A) their velocity is toward the center of the space station and their inertia tends to keep them moving outward.
B) the fictitious force is always in the direction of centripetal acceleration.
C) they are accelerating toward the center of the space station and inertia tends to keep them moving sideways.
D) their velocity is away from the center of the space station and their inertia tends to make them move in towards the center.
